Tell me what you think! I know Ive heard rumors of a 150hp supercharged version of this coming out. It should be a fun car to drive.






In my opinion.... the only thing that sucks about the car is the neon engine that they are going to strap in it. What a bad choice. Sorry neon owners.

Thats not a Neon motor. Its a 1.6L and I believe it was designed by BMW (as was the whole car). The Mini Cooper S is the supercharged version.
