MINI: Necessarily in Caps
To distinguish the new MINI from the classic Mini, one would
have to look at how it is written. In bold letters would be the
new MINI, meanwhile the classic Mini would just have to take it
the normal way. This MINI is a subsidiary of BMW and is also
produced by that same subsidiary since 2001. In truth, this
vehicle has been very much criticized over its poor space
efficiency which as compared to the original Mini that held a
quite larger size. However, this new MINI still has become quite
very much faithful to the razor sharp handling characteristics
that the original Minis held, as well as the unique styling
style that the previous ones also sported.
Even if the MINI has had little advertising done, BMW still has
been receiving tons of orders for this vehicle. And because of
the large number of orders coming in, BMW has been suffering
from a significant backlog of these. This new vehicle, MINI, has
quite reached cult status the world over. Many people who own
MINIs were constantly approached by strangers who were very much
intrigued as to what that vehicle was, or also to recall the
classic Minis. Even so, the new MINI has a following that could
prove to be quite just as strong as its predecessors. And to top
it all up, even despite all the criticisms that this vehicle has
received, the MINI Cooper and the MINI Cooper S has been
acclaimed as the North American Car of the Year award for the
year 2003.
Rumors have it that a new version of the MINI would be out and
be introduced in 2007. It will be completely restyled. This
would also be crafted on a reengineered platform that contains
many stylistic and engineering changes done in. This kind of
styling would be shared by the MINI with the PSA Peugeot
Citroen. This current MINI though sports circular headlamps,
huge wheel flares, and a rounded appearance overall. It was
first shown during the 2000 Paris Auto Show.
There has been quite a listing of movies that has had MINIs and
Minis featured. The list includes Hitch (shows a dark silver
MINI), Match Point (MINI One), Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and
Fabulous (Silver MINI Cooper), Wicker Park (silver MINI Cooper),
Spanglish (Liquid Yellow/White MINI Cooper), The Italian Job
(pepper white, Indy Blue, Chili red and white MINI Cooper), and
Austin Powers (MINI Cooper with a union jack body wrap). Movies
for Mini vehicles include Lords of Dogtown (a red Mini), If Only
(another red Mini), Hotel Rwanda, Bridget Jones: The Edge of
Reason (A Mini Cooper), The Bourne Identity (red Mini), Air Bud:
Seventh Inning Fetch (MkI Mini), Lara Croft: Tomb Raider,
Bridget Jones' Diary (Mk II Mini), and The Avengers (another Mk
II Mini).
