Sure, they may call it a 2002 revival- but BMW has abandoned everything about the 2002 (except for evoking it's memory for marketing purposes). The 1 may be a nice car, but it would be more accurate to call it an E36 revival. Really it's just another overlarge, overheavy, overpowered, overpadded and overpriced 'luxury performance' car- which is about all BMW can be bothered to build these days. I can hardly wait to see one tricked out in full VIP style.
In size, price, and spirit, the new Mini is
much closer to being a 2002 revival.
Not that I'm bitter or anything.
