Wow, this is my first post. I am not a Mini owner yet because I am saving up to pay cash. Should have the money I need by about March. Hopefully, I will be purchasing a 2007 or 08 Mini Cooper S. Neither of the two cars discussed in this thread would make me think twice about my future purchase. The Fiat looks like a Yaris. The alfa sorta looks like a Nissan but I must say it is a pretty good looking car. Alas, have my heart set on a Mini........

I've had a couple of Fiats, with mixed reviews, and I've had 4 BMWs, starting with the 2002. Nothing to worry about here!

Been doing alot of research over the last 6 months and decided on the R56. Have loved the Mini since it came out and decided it is time. This will be my first drivers car that I have owned. I do own a 67 Volvo 1800. It was my wifes first car, we have had it for 21 years, great car. Otherwise we have owned Hondas and a Jeep. Can't wait to get my Mini.

Lets see if I can do this properly. Here is a picture of the Volvo to refresh your memory. The only thing on the car that is not stock is the Whalen **** that Doug fabricated for me. Thought you Mini guys would like that. Hope I don't anger anybody with these off the subject posts.

The 500 will be competition for the Smart not for MINI. It's just not in the same price/performance/luxury category as the MINI. But I agree with Dr.O.: Bring 'em all on. I'd much rather have a selection of a dozen different mini cars available to choose from rather than the hundreds of SUV models that currently exist.
