That's just because Americans are..... well..... BIG. Stay the course MINI.... We don't need no Ginormasman. The Countryman is big enough.....

 

It's not hard to understand coming from a generation that has been hammered from every direction to 'super size' this or that and actually fell for it.

 

I know that program.....

 

BTW..... Nice artwork on the M/A long sleeve tee....

 

That's funny I think it is too big.... Go figure???

 

I was not the biggest fan of the Countryman until just the other day. I inspected a Countryman Red Line option at the dealer. This was black on black with black wheels...first black wheels I've liked as well...a large red center stripe bonnet to boot and driving lights. It had a JCW aero package which is aggressive and invites study. Best JCW appearance package out there and I like it better than the R56 package. It needs a proper JCW engine, but this is one hot looking Countryman. Larger? Not a chance! That's not it's market. I think a properly designed, roof rack could integrate and be sexy, if you need to travel four with luggage. This rig had the sunroof. Anyway, If I had the big bucks I'd likely be driving my second MINI...

Yep I'm big, but I like my MINI's small.

Like my donuts big too... :donut1: :donut1: :donut1:

 

If it's too small then biy a Hummer

 

Sorry to say my friend many people do. ut:

 

Too small.... :nonod: :lol:

I find it a great touring size, great local commuter too. Of course since it is Pat's DD, I get to drive it when I fill it up and clean it up. :smilewinkgrin:

 

this is typical amongst folks that do not understand the product. Only if those folks understand that's it's Mini, means small and from the outset, go-cart handling, means hard. Understanding that the product, I think it's the beginning of wisdom.... LOL

A MINI whould be mini is size.

I for one do not think of the Countryman as a TRUE MINI because it is already too BIG.

If BMW wants a small cross-over make a X 1.5 and leave the MINI brand out of the mix.

 

Typical for americans.

Bigger is not always better.
My mom drives a damn Expedition. And she complains constantly about gas.... really? :crazy:

 

Did your mom also have a Bobbi by chance?....

 

LOL- not her thing :lol:

 

Thanks!
