This Is The MINI We've All Been Waiting For

In an age where cars are growing in size and weight, MINI has decided to move in the opposite direction. The Anglo-German brand teamed with Italian coachbuilders Touring Superleggera to create the sporty Vision concept. Although I haven't been overly fond of MINI's current trend of making bigger, bulkier vehicles, new car looks impressive to me.

At this point, the pint-sized two-seat roadster is just a design study. However, it's not beyond the realm of possibility that at least some of the Vision's features will make it into future MINI production cars. This thing is cool, so let's hope MINI's overlords at BMW do the right thing and put the Vision concept into production.
