Since my MINI is my daily driver, if it were not around, I'd probably want something like the new Civic Si ... but that's because I also have a "fun car" for weekend duty (new Corvette). If I drove only one car, and the MINI were not available, then I'd probably step back into a Porsche or Subaru. Then again, I just saw a Honda Fit Sport on the road yesterday, and it reminded me of the Hondas back in the mid to late '70's (which I always thought were counter-culture cool). And, we have the Smart "ForTwo" minicar coming in America in 2008.
Same here. In fact, I had only looked at and test drove a Mini and the new GTI. I chose the Mini over it because of the sheer driving experience. The GTI would probably be the overall "better" car, but the Mini is just fun to drive.
I was looking at a subaru wrx sti or the explorer sport trac. Don't need an SUV anymore, my parents bought a H2 and are looking into an H1. They are huge gas guzzlers but when you take them off-road, they are a total blast!!

Yeah they are. My dad had one for 3 years back in the late '90s. I was just a little kid then, so it was badass to have the dad that had an H1. That thing was a tank. In fact when we were building our house at that time, he made each garage stall wider, just so he could park in either of them comfortably. He really like it, but in the end it wasn't all that practical and ate gas despite the two gas tanks, the diesel was loud and the handling was rough, it was cool, but in the end it wasn't the "vehicle" for the average daily driver.
