I'm confident that BMW will surprise people by selling Mini Coopers 
like hotcakes in a couple of years. Who knows, but maybe that
will spurt on the revival of hot hatches and we'll see one true
GTI come out of the VW stable to these shores for a change.
Realistically, though, we'll need "cooperation" from OPEC to see a 
return of smaller cars..but is that a price worth paying? no...
solution: keep your Sciroccos alive! I know I have very long-range 
plans for my cars. I will hopefully still be driving a 'roc 
in 2010.. Will you??
