I would get one for my kid if it is safe.

I would buy that in a heartbeat. I have been looking for a good deal on a classic Isetta...a redesign would save a lot of repair work and I bet it goes over 40 mph without feeling dangerous. Does it really make sense for BMW to add a competitor to its own Mini? A loaded up Mini S is nearly the intro 135, it would be tricky for them to decide on a pricepoint for this thing in the US. I hope we get it!! Somebody buy one, take the depreciation and sell it to me!

It would be a great way for BMW to enter the fuel efficient segment. However, I do hope they put more than 12 hp this time around!!

the only thing that scares me about buying something like that is the big Ford f-250s here in TX. i can take a hit in a 3 series and hopefully survive but that isetta seems suspect
