New Mini Moke/Beachcomber Concept

lol how does opening the brand to a broader market kill it off?

I do like it but agree that if you just batter the Mini Badge then you kill a bit of the brand appeal. Some on here think the R56 was a crime and that was a move for the better in engineering terms and as for looks lets face it there is not much in it.


But I’d hate to walk into a showroom and see more or less a small freelander type vehicle with a Mini badge even if it has a slight mini look, its not what a Mini is about.

Granted BMW will continue to exaggerate the brand , I love the look of that Roadster as I still feel its Mini, but we all know they will push it too far and before you know it you’ll get an X3 and Mini sharing the same chassis.


Oh and if the site it right Happy birthday Baz.

Thanks man

Well people had same views of BMW taking over the brand and it sparked the classic vs MINI debate.

For me i would like to stay with MINI if my needs change for a bigger car or a roadster. Also even the new concepts are different and quirky to anything else out there.... does that not also have a feeling of the MINI brand experience?

I think BMW are spot on with the MINI brand.

Sorry got the bit between my teeth but I study marketing as part of my degree

Just my opinion but THAT is FUGLY
