If you’re gonna name your company “MINI”, you gotta set some boundaries. Just like you would if your company was named “Trucks ‘R’ US”.

At least this one’s honest about just being a dedicated Dakar truck with MINI sponsorship unlike the old one.

Doesn’t matter, companies can build racing vehicles that aren’t road-going and they’re still by that company.

See: Porsche 919, any McLaren Formula One car, any Lotus Formula One car, etc.

I know, but when the company is called “Mini” and it was given that name specifically cause they were small cars, I don’t like it.

It's not a mini. Except for marketing purposes. The job of marketers is to profit from lies.
