In two extensive, highly detailed videos, CNET’s Martin LaMonica compares the MINI E and the Ford Fusion Hybrid . Worth the watch. More opinion after the jump… [source: cbsnews.com].
I watched these two videos as objhectively as possible… As you probably can imagine, I’m totally a fan of the MINI, and Fords? Well, not so much. Yet I did walk away (as they say) far more educated about both cars, as well as the future of electric/hybrid/ “alternative fuel” vehicles. And well, that’s what it’s all about right?
A short summary of the Banquet from “A MINI Vacation in Vegas” 2009 (a.k.a. “AMVIV”). See the full version and more AMVIV clips at WhiteRoofRadio.tv and BehindTheVroom.com.
If you haven’t seen it, the Hyundai Genesis Coupe looks to be one badass street-legal-track-car. (if this is old news, well, I’ve been known to be out of the loop. Whatever.) Even better, the Hyundai Genesis website lets you edit together your own commercial and enter into a contest. I have no idea what the winner wins- I had enough fun editing together my own commercial. After all, It’s what I do!

A friend sent me the link to this video of the 2009 Tokyo Auto Salon (think “Hot Import Nights”) which was captured rather nicely. In fact, I’m a bit jealous as to how well this video was put together.

Allow me to be the 6255th website to discuss the “World Premiere” of the MINI Cabrio, and the MINI E At the North American International Auto Show in Detroit this past week. I put “World Premiere” in quotes because, well, if you’re a big fan of the MINI, you’ve seen the photos and videos circulating the Internet as early as 6 months ago.
But alas, how could I not write post about it. But even better than that, how about some video!
