I was just about to post those and to say how much potential there's in Mini design, i am so glad that they will finally get rid of the retro cool factor and start a real modern Mini.
Mini (stylized as MINI) is a British automotive brand founded in 1969, owned by German BMW since 2000,
and used by them for a range of small cars assembled in the United Kingdom, Austria, and the Netherlands.
The word Mini has been used in car model names since 1959, and in 1969 it became a brand in its own right
when the name "Mini" replaced the separate "Austin Mini" and "Morris Mini" car model names.
