My personal opinion,New Mini is just surviving on its brand name..like the way kids enjoy the Grandparents/Parents hard earned name & fame. The guys who are appreciating the new Mini are having limited knowledge about CLASSIC or 1st Gen Mini ( i maybe wrong). These guys are just talking abt the kid. But the guys who are hating the new mini( like DAVE nd other members), are the real fans of mini.. they want Mini to be special & unique. Let MINI be unique, not like every other car in the market..
New MINI's are not MINI's they are little yet large hatchback BMW misfits with a MINI badge. Truth hurts but it is what it is. :devil:
Well, i love it... definitely a 'small car' in NW Ohio amid the sea of jumbo SUVs and mega-pickup trucks... And I got another parking lot compliment on Nigel at the grocery this afternoon!
