Grovsnus:
There seems to be a disconnect. You seem to be talking about Beetles and Minis from the 60s/70s and I agree with your reference points. I'm talking, however, about the modern redesigned versions. The new Beetle was definitely more female-oriented with its flower base, colors and so on.
BTW, according to Mini:
All MINI Cooper models are available with a quick-shifting six-speed Aisin automatic transmission.
