Please for the love of all that is good and holy please let this come to North America, this look like it'd be incredible to drive.
i showed the link to a coworker who i thought would like it...he has a Mini currently, but the lease is up this fall, so he's started his "looking" so he knows what might be in the cards...he said if this were actually available, it would likely be his next car...since it's unlikely to come here, the GTI is likely top of the list (not that there's anything wrong with a GTI).
