It sounds as if the "destroy" is an exaggeration, or what the UK press call "spinning", or what the government call a statement. Babelfish translates the words on the link as: .... (Some sensless words in an undefinable language snipped.) The text near the picture explains it all: "Starke Werbung, schwache Leistung - der Mini-Diesel ist untermotorisiert." Or, in English (true English, not Babbelfenglish): "Strong advertisement, weak power - the diesel mini is underpowered." ("Starke Werbung, schwache Leistung" is a pun and cannot really be translated.) Stefan

Except that the pickup is indeed pretty powerful, which the Mini certainly is not. rj
