    The trouble with MINI is its full of Gen1s

    This must be a ploy to rid the world of Gen1s. The quicker that happens the quicker the F-Series takes off.

    Just what I'm looking for... a new Toyota built atop an old MINI. There's gotta be somehing funny being passed around during the break.
