    :frown2: looks way too much like a guy searching for something other than a great car design... Isn't there anyone from the Issigonis family available to take on the task?

    Sales! Aw fer cryin out loud!

    What they need is a designer or an engineer.

    This does not bode well.

    Sir Alec is rolling over in his grave knowing what are being sold as Mini's now.

    I on the other hand am over joyed at the direction BMW is going with the brand. Moar I say much moar.

    A cynic would say someone should snatch this new guy & stage an intervention. :devil:

    Wait a minute guys. Mini is a word right out of Great Britain. MINI came out of Germany. Has it occurred that there's a possibility that MINI could mean something entirely different in German or could even be an acronym for something heinous?

    He looks like a Postal worker fully loaded ready to go into the office and drop all his co-workers.

    Or with that half grin he just took to many Viagra with ExtenZe. :lol:

    Might be buying that Land Rover next! If they have a sales guy as head, it remains to be seen if he is an enthusiast. Sounds like a climber to me! :(
