Why? Because it's my opinion, that's why.;)
They've taken the cute lines of the original and
wrecked it. Oh, sure it's more practical, but it's now
ugly beyond words and has lost the very Britishness of
the original. It's managed the near-impossible task of
being both bland AND ugly. For a car that was both an
icon and a real engineering milestone to be reduced to
this is particularly sad.
