Talking Mini Cooper

The 2010 Mini Cooper 50th Anniversary Camden Edition is taking yet another stab at the talking car idea.



The C&D guys seem to like it but this seems just horrible to me. I did enjoy laughing at it and would have a lot of fun laughing at anyone I know getting one of these but aside from that it's like a bad April Fool's day joke at the wrong time.

I wouldn't mind it too much if I could tell it to shut the f... up and it would listen.

I thought from the title of the thread maybe they were going to make another new Knight Rider series......

I would be to scared that when I went to press the brakes the thing would say, "I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."
