So it’s three feet shorter than my Trans Am? That doesn’t seem too big. Or is that the problem?

I wouldn’t have an issue if it didn’t have that badge on it probably...

I’m actually genuinely surprised its only 14 feet of complaining about how minis aren’t tiny, I expected 20 or more feet of complaining. Also, Range Rovers that don’t rove the range?! Pathfinders that can’t find the path?! Corvettes without deck guns?! Whats this world coming too...
Just giving you a hard time.

The word Mini got lost in translation into German

Your Trans Am is Trans Am not Mini.
![]() 09/15/2015 at 16:41 |
|
In this case, Mini is a brand not an adjective.

It means it’s closer in length to your Trans Am than to the original Mini, which actually was
mini
.

At least it has a historic inspiration.

Alright, so it’s against the name, but are we really here complaining about someone making brown manual wagon with a three cylinder turbo and barn doors?

something something unreliable
something something over priced
something something I’m not a real Oppo

The maxi is shorter than the ‘Mini’ pictured above though.
![]() 09/15/2015 at 16:47 |

but the name/brand was built on the adjective
![]() 09/15/2015 at 16:48 |

I don’t see the problem. It’s a damn good looking wagon with as much utility as most crossovers, with brown paint, a turbocharged engine and a manual.
Oh wait, it’s called a MINI? Fuck this car then. Naming something that huge a MINI is as dumb as driving a Chevy Tahoe anywhere that isn’t Lake Tahoe.
**That last paragraph was sarcasm. This MINI hate is beyond stupid.

The way Kinja crops the images on the main page, I thought that was a Ford Flex for a minute... but then 14 feet is at least a little shorter than a Ford Flex. similar colors, similar wheels...
MINI is all caps perhaps to differentiate it from the contracted adjective form of miniature, unless describing something as a moderately sized alternative to something HUGE... and those are the only two objects in the pool of consideration.
Miniature relative to what? That Ford Flex, is what.

Just change the name to Maxi and be done with it.

I don’t care about the whole MINIs aren’t mini deal, but that is an ugly vehicle right there.

I’ll have you know many paths where found with my 2014 pathfinder. I found the path to work, the mall, the doctors office....
Just for you i’m calling mine a Pathfounder.

That is half a foot longer than my wife’s 2010 Honda Fit. and 8 inches longer than a new one.
But I’m part of the problem. I love the Countryman
andI also really liked the old Clubman. But whats worse than the size of the new Clubman? The taillights. ew.
the old Clubman looked so much more unique and it didn’t have monstrously large tailights.

“MINI isn’t mini!” is starting to reach “Evolution is just a theory” levels of absurd pedantism.

The MINI brand’s biggest car is a couple inches bigger than a golf (168 vs 165). This isn’t a big deal.

With a MINI you get the cost of BMW ownership but not the quality..
