The car appears to be a "Mini-Cooper", which is made by BMW..One of my closest friends just bought a new one about 6 months ago, and she loves it!
It has 2 sunroofs (very small ones, of course!) and a GPS with a touch screen..
Her's is a solid cream color~
They don't have much interior space, but the distance between the wheels is broad, so she says driving it feels like it 'hugs' the road..I think they begin at about $40,000 (U.S. dollars)~

~I just contacted her and here it is:
"Coopers are $18,000 or $21,500 for the 's' type..Convertibles are $22,500-$26,000 for the S ~That's before all the added options...With the added 'goodies', they get to $36,000 fast. Miles per Gallon is 23-35..

The car in the picture is the Mini (BMW Group). I like it very much because of its driving pleasure and performance (talking about Cooper S, maybe JCW).
I don't like the aesthetics of the restyled model, I prefer the old one.
About Volkswagen New Beetle, I like it too: I appreciate its original style, but I think the 2.4 turbo engine is the only one worth buying.

Brilliant car.
I bought red one in Germany from the factory! Best car i owned. A great looker and still turns heads.
I used to buy a magazine called 'Safer motoring' and was dedicated to the Volkswagen and was a fantastic read.
I am always amazed at the simple design of the air cooled engine (nearly all cars are water assisted cooling) that can even withstand extreme temperatures like Africa.
May it continue forever!

Yea, beetles are cool. My dad owned quite a few of them, and they get great gas mileage! They almost did away with them, and so many people complained that they decided not to discontinue them.

I did like this car. I had the unfortunate experience of having a fuel line rupture and catch the transmission on fire. Nothing you could do but watch it burn! I still like the way they look, but you won't catch me driving one.
