I'll be happy to say goodbye to the current motor.

I got no beef with the current motor, but a turbo-triple does sound mighty interesting.

quoted Gabe: "However we do expect to see at least one higher-end model with a dual clutch transmission over the next few years."
Count me in.
I hope it's a 7-speed Aisin.

So we're looking at a new mini exterior, interior and under the hood for 2012 :D
Sounds great. I can wait another 2 years.
