I've found a modern Rover that I actually like. HELP!

Certainly is. Couple of problems with that though, the transmission tunnel means there is no place to put your left foot anymore.

But you get a 260bhp v8 instead of a Rover K Series...

And it kills the environment as well.

Another plus to it's appeal.

The engine is from Ford, the 'box is a Tremec, the suspension is entirely BMW as Rover didn't have the money to design their own and the brakes are AP items.
Astonishing cars and the tuning potential/cost ratio is IMHO unbeatable.

The bit you see most of is mainly Rover though... the interior. Although the BMW stereo system is a bit of relief...
