Mini

2001 March Melbourne Motor Show: To be available in 2002, the new (BMW) Mini Cooper will be priced under $35,000, with the Mini Cooper S ~$40,000+/- ($au).

While the exterior is reasonably faithful to the old Mini looks, the interior takes a few styling cues, such as the centrally mounted dial, but is otherwise more radical.

The original Mini handled well but was not the best car to be in in a crash; the new one has front and side airbags, and ABS brakes.
