The MITO looks like a Pokemon.
I'm sorry, but I'd prefer something a little more honest & powerful for the price it sells for here in Australia.

The old 155bhp top of the range model cost 19.000€. It undercuts the Mini Cooper by some hundreds of dollars (and that has a normally aspirated 120bhp engine).
In Canada the Mini costs $22,800 so the 155bhp would cost about the same, probably a bit less, with much better performance. And AFAIK the 170bhp Quadrifoglio Verde won't be that much expensive than the previous 155bhp MiTo.
Lack of charisma can be fatal.
Visca Catalunya!
A Base MITO costs $31,490 Australian ($29,341 CAD)(18,400 Euro)
A Base MINI cost $31,100 AUD ($29,016 CAD) (18,303 Euro)
Bear in mind you can pick up a Golf for that kind of money, no worries.

Bearing in mind the relatively strong Aussie Dollar and the cost of importation (being stuck on a ship, blah blah blah) it's still a ridiculous amount of money to pay for an underpowered 3 door hatchback, no matter the badge cache.

That's not the problem in my opinion. The problem is that in essence the MiTo is a posh Punto. And that's fine at Punto prices, but no so fine when you heading into premium territory. And it's why despite all the mistakes and overall cuteness and retroness the Mini still makes sense.

The problem I suppose is that there are too many fools willing to part with their cash for it.
I can think of 3 vehicles I'd consider before a MITO if I was in the same price range.
