It's BMW's turn to mini


At least one automaker is feeling flush enough to experiment (and sadly, it's not domestic). BMW will introduce a test run of its Mini E, the German company's new, 100-percent electric, zero-emission car sometime next year. The battery-operated two-seater tops out at 95 mph (0-60 in eight seconds), and travels 150 miles on a single charge. No word on pricing or availability yet, but the concept's intriguing enough. The styling, on the other hand, might need some work—unless, of course, you like your vehicles detailed with canary-yellow trim.
