yea, we were looking at this on one of the big MINI sites, motoringfile.com .. there are some interesting comments there. Someone pointed out that companies like Ford are completely out of touch with the youth segment today, that they mostly buy japanese, and then develop brand loyalty toward japanese.
In that light, I hope we see a lot more radical, youth oriented concepts in the future, and I hope they see production. I don't mind the Xb, it's inexpensive, and cooler than a Focus IMO.
The Hornet does seem to draw from the MINI, in fact it seems the concept uses the same powerplant the current Cooper S uses (which is about to be replaced with a new Turbo engine)

Ford needs to bring the Ka over. They sell and build a version in Mexico... and Europe gets a lot of neat versions like the Sport Ka:
and Street Ka:
