GM, Then and Now... Before you go and buy a import brand car because of the perception of quality, do a little research and you will find GM has as good or better quality than most of those other brands. It's not cool to hate America people!

MC stands for Monte Carlo, and 40 is Mini's anniversary for their win there.
This is just a paint scheme for an anniversary edition.

Ithink the mini is for the trendy metro and homo sexual males that want something nice, cute, and trendy that can scoot around the city.
Id love to see two trains coming from each direction, smash a mini into a million, gazillion parts...

no car that stops, gos, and turns as well as the mini should be laughed off as a 'trendy' (ie cute) car. no, the non-testosterone infused part of the male sex can have the beatles and golf cabriolets and pt cruisers... leave the mini alone! hahaha!

mr. bean model... love it!

I'd take the Mini over the Beetle any day of the week.

If Minis are for homosexual males then all 3rd gens F-Bods must be for toothless redneck w/ mullets. Generalizing is bad mmmkay.

The only MINI haters are those people who wish that GM could come up with a model as good or original as the MINI...

Um... no...

I don't like the Mini because I don't like the styling...

Don't like GM's Chevy Nomad concept either...
