Has the new German BMW Mini spoilt the classic British Mini?

Even a Ford Ka is smaller than the new BMW mini - They should not be called mini!



Second of all - Classic minis were BRITISH, now they are made and designed by Germans!



The new mini may be a good car but it should not be called a mini for reasons shown above!



What do you think?

Agree. There will only be one mini. The British had it first, end of story.



BMW got to build another mini, but as you say, it isnt the mini and never will be. My cooper can still run circles around most cars and it is 45 yrs old.

Made by Germans? Precisely where in Germany is Oxford??



Brilliant cars, well deserving of the name, unlike the current VW Beetle, which is a joke!



The retro-design I'm waiting for is the new Fiat 500, due next year!!



Why they can't design NEW cars is beyond me though!
The new Mini is great get over yourself mate. Time has moved on, it's a heavy car I love it!
they are two different cars even though they are called the same. I can't think of them as both being a mini as they are so different. The old one was a ground breaker, cult classic and beautiful rust bucket of a car, whereas the new one is and allways will be a hair dressers car (senior stylist)
I agree with you about the size of the thing, but the BMW abomination was not designed by Germans.
