Motor Trend article - Mini-Z

Mini Z? Hardly. More like a Juke turned into a 2 door coupe.

The theme is something that will likely not make it to the US. And if it does it will compete with Fiat and Mini's more directly and not the FRS/BRZ.

It has a turbo so it already beats the brz in the aftermarket easy. Coupled with awd could make a really good dd.

But it's supposed to be competition for the FRS/BRZ. I mean, if you want to compete with every other FWD sports car and be more practical/cheaper FWD and all that, that's great, but don't pretend you're competing with the FR-S when you do it.
