Butter-smooth leather and real wood interior appointments won’t make the buckboard ride and obnoxiously loud road noise any more tolerable, just more expensive.

Britney Spears has a Mini. There are tons of people with poor taste and a lot of money. You can’t underestimate bad taste of public

How many special editions of the mini have been spewed out in the last couple of weeks-3 or 4 ? You’d think they’re trying to do what BMW is doing with their X wagons.

You know how car makers and designers use concept cars, to test the reaction of the public consumers – perhaps this is what they are doing… but obviously it won’t be that wild because they cant risk the cars not selling… The Color and Trim departments will be put to the test… The dealers will see all that ‘value added’ factor… for sure the price will rise!

Hope it comes with distinctive badging so everyone can spot the suckers.

My initial reaction was that the public won’t go for it, but I’ve learned not to underestimate the stupidity of consumers, such as those who pay big bucks for Audi’s.

When I think of the Mini Coopers of today, I think of sporty, fun, somewhat economical and full of personality. I DO NOT think of luxury. At all. This is a major FAIL.

The cow-catcher grill from the Rolls would look pretty stellar on a Mini…

Funny but I never imagined Mini owners worried about a good piece of trim.

I like the idea, but how much more will this cost?

Can they get any more expensive? Apparently so.
