Hyundai has revealed it has now built more than a million i30s with European sales accounting for 500,000 of those sales.

Mercedes SLS AMG GT Final Edition revealed ahead of debut at Los Angeles & Tokyo

Of course, even BMW aren’t bold enough to make a production MINI – even one with Rolls Royce fairy dust sprinkled on at Goodwood – cost so much. But they’ve come damn close.
