MINI Review in Newsweek
Did anyone read this in the latest copy of Newsweek?
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17312283...storyContinued
Is it just me, or are there are least 2 pieces of information in this little article that are incorrect?
This is my first post, and I do not have a MINI yet, but check NAM multiple times daily. I have learned so much that seeing wrong info in a published article just bothered me.
What does everybody think?

He got a couple of details wrong, but he got the gest of the car just right, in my opinion.
And I think this may be the wrong forum to post this in. And look at me, propagating it. Yeah for me, the numpty! OY! Sorry admins.

It happens.
I was asking about the turbo manufacturer for the last couple months on a few different sites and was getting mixed info. A couple VERY reliable sourses eventually assured me it was a Honeywell/Garrett unit.
Turns out the turbos are german-made KKK's. CLEARLY stamped in the compresser housing (a "K" surrounded by a rounded triangle). There's even a little tin plaque in plain view with the logo and model number on it.
Oh, well.
