The BMW Mini is too big and heavy to be called a Mini. The BMC mini in 1959 was a completely new fresh idea, nothing else like it on the road at that time, so whats new about the BMW Mini nothing, same layout as anyother car, boring.

the mk1 mini was ideally created to provide "cheap economical transport to the masses" It was sort of like the model T of it's day.
The mini was and still is a truly great car, as it could be modified with a more powerful engine (although this is not to my taste), can hold four people and their luggage, stored in the boot of the car and under tha back seats. The doorbins also provided enough space for a few bits and pieces as well.
The new BMW mini is just a knock off version of the original

Pity BMC didn,t price it properly. Austin Morris may have still been making cars today. Ford took a mini to pieces and told BMC that it was costed wrongly.BMC ignored their advice.

The MINI has been a huge influence on all car makers.
All major manfacturers now build a small front wheel drive sedan with an "east-west" mounted engine!
The early model MINI with the 850cc is now a collectors item too.

the mini is a great car, best invention ever, unfortunately it wasn't the safest, thats when BMW came in with their safer version, ok its not a true mini but more a fashion icon, still best car ever, both.
