I wanted a Mini but they were a little out of my price range for a daily driver. That and you had to get on a waiting list to get one, is that still the case?

Funny that just this morning I saw a Asian import driving on the freeway that looked very similar... got me thinking what makes the Mini so much better... they are both boxy little front wheel drive cars. I know the devil is in the details, working out the suspension and all that but I do wonder if part of the Mini worship is just hype with the perceived mystique of BMW and historical Mini handling.

Just musing on a Saturday morning.
