Is it April 1st?

 

Cat fight... Cat fight....

Oh..... And MF.... to earn your journalistic creed.... It's bastion not baston..... Unless you intend to cane them....

 

Riley Elf and Wolseley Hornet were NOT 4 dr's

Riley


Wolseley


At least you could see the Mini heritage in these designs, the rendering in the article - outside of having MINI looking headlights and probably the grill - has no MINI design in it at all. Not a bad looking car in a generic sort of way, but hardy a staff carrier for the brand.

 

So sad....
No background checks on accuracy?

Need some journalists that are familiar with their product...:frown2:

 

What I posted on MF:


"MINI heritage is important? That's so laughable, if not insulting to our intelligence...The MINI heritage is an affordable car, lacking a little in refinement, but making up for it in a visceral driving experience. With each generation, BMW is going to a refined car, more comfortable, larger, and less affordable. That's ok (actually it's not ok, but from a business standpoint I get it), but don't try to spin it as they're staying true to the MINI heritage when in fact they've gone in exactly the opposite direction."


The BMW apologists should be there shortly.

 

I posted to to inform of the correct word usage.

 

You know what? I don't hate it, and that makes me sad.....

 

Just noticed the rendering has the Hofmeister kink. It's a BMW with a MINI front end.

Wow...where have you gone MINI???

 

All they need to do is add the upside-down kidney bean openings that were hiding behind the grille of the R53 and the transformation will be complete.

 

Too many to's... Two is one too mucher to's......

 

Then they might get sued by Pontiac.... Oh wait... Never mind...

 

If it is near the drawing, I would drive it. Would make a great alternative at National or Enterprise in the 4dr line up.
