Manufactures need to keep it real. Enough with being first with this and that. Bring back some quality some day this decade before the economy collapses.

I was kind of suprised that Mini stuck with a 6 speed auto on the new model. I guess with all the Fiat/Chrysler issues with the new 9 speed ZF it was a good move. Do you know who builds the new Mini auto or is it the same supplier as before?
