Judging from the prior comment that’s an appropriate response. Goest thou thither and ponder the difference between the “free” market and the “stock” market.

Incorrect! Perhaps Cuba has a better plan for you.

Greg, don't get me started.... Free markets and market deregulation have proven to be dismal failures.

Look where deregulation of wall street has gotten us into.

The comments on some of the pictures are pretty funny.

This 16-inch low-rolling resistance, run-flat tire is unique to the Mini E, probably because no other Mini could stand such little grip.

That's because no amount of suspension retuning can disguise 573 pounds of laptop batteries riding in back.

I do appreciate their understanding of what makes a MINI, and that a lot of that character is lost in this electric version.

I now I hear in order for the "big three" to get their loot the government is extorting them into making sillymobiles.

Seriously folks, do we want Big Bro telling us what to make and sell? Shouldn't a little thing called the FREE MARKET determine that?

All you lunk heads drooling over this gizmo are deluded.

If Government regulations had not forced them to make an electric car, they probably would not have bothered. BMW has been working on hydrogen power for over 30 years, so cannot be considered to be seriously attempting to diversify.
