"While I think the Minis, both old and new, are pretty damned cool it is not and will not be the smallest vehicle on American roads. The base mini weighs in at just a ***** hair under 2500 Lbs (1115 Kg) while a 1984 or 85 Honda CRX weighs between 1600 Lbs (726 Kg) and 1900 Lbs (862 Kg) depending on trim level. By all acounts, an early CRX Si (1800 Lbs, 98 HP) is as close to a classic mini-cooper as anyone has produced until now. Additionaly there is the, even more common on American roads these days, Mazda Miata which weighs in at around 2300 Lbs (1043 Kg). The MR2 spiders weigh about the same as a Miata as well. "
