    Looks like MINI UK has nailed down the Mexican buyer base on the island. Next stop... the UK Eskimos.:D

    Yeah....
    The funny thing about this ad, to have three in the back means a bench type rear seat. Isn't the US supposed to get that track system running down the middle and not be able to have access to three place seating in the rear? Or has that changed? Something about the average "Girth" of the US population.

    In the UK you can get either the bench or the 2 place seating in the rear. The US is only supposed to get the 2 place seating.

    That commercial would never see the light of day in US as not to offend the Mexican-American population with such a blatant stereotypical portrayal.
