Too bad AutoExpress is the Weekly World News of the car world, I would really like my next MINI to be a diesel Monte.

Although SUVs are not my favourite vehicles at all, I must confess that I like how that MINI Monte looks! However, I'm not too crazy about the name...it reminds me of green beans and jalapeños!..."Del Monte"...

Thats interesting, because a few weeks ago Auto Express showed a pic of the MINI Monte looking different to that
, and what they showed, they said was an official picture, yet in this weeks mag, it looks different.

That sounds about par for the course; so much of what they have previously published has turned out to be complete fiction that I no longer believe a single word they print

"Built with pride in the USA"? Are the BMW X5's that come out of the US factory any good?

The more I look at it, the less I like it. The front looks like a big sad mouth or a fish's mouth...it takes away the good looks of the Mini!

Now that would be cool, if I could squeeze my large frame into it.

In my opinion, the Monte is a car too far from the MINI idea....
