Why don’t we make the rear light cover absolutely massive to make our car look bloated but then make the actual rear light absolutely minuscule to make the car loom slimmer?

Those chrome bezels around the rear lights might be my least favorite part of my wife’s Mini - which, by the way, is the same color as the one above.

Hey Auto Manufacturers: Don’t “update” your lights and stuff if it’s just for the sake of making them different. Sometimes it’s just “worse.”

I’m surprised your dash is in English.

I’m pretty sure it came like that from factory, but it’s fine by me, I also put my mom’s gmt900 and my dad’s jeep in english and they seem to prefer it... spanish dashes are awkward

But minis need tons of garnish!

I mean, you speak English, so it’s not inhibiting anything. Kind of surprised that it came like that from the factory . I would have assumed that it’d be in Spanish.

I mean, the only indication that it’s a Mexican market model is that it is the gt2 but it doesn’t have any of the driver asists tech (it does have the LSD, which is what I care about)

While we’re at it, I don’t completely get why they have to constantly redesign the new MINI on a fixed product cycle, if the new car always just looks like a slightly larger version of the old one.

I mean, the original Mini lasted 41 years, surely a modern one could do at least 10-15, right? Personally, I think they got it just right with the R50, and that its been pretty much downhill from there.

My beef is that it relies too much on Britain being cool, but it’s still a very small car, I mean, it’s like half the size of that Grand Cherokee! Not that it’s particularly hard to be less compact than a cherokee...
