| I still say that when you had variations such as the Moke, Pickup, Van, Wolseley Hornet, Riley Elf, Estate, Countryman, Cooper S, Clubman and so on of the original Mini, it's very hard to say any new variant, however wild or "out of keeping" it may be isn't a "true MINI" in some way.
Just because you could argue the Mini became stale, with only one body type, that that is where the MINI should look to continue. I think they should be bold and adventurous and see where it takes them. |
