I was thinking the same. A little out of place.
It’s definitely been done...
As others have said this was definitely converted to be a funeral flower car. I actually liked it better before whatever bro added those terrible bed rails.
Great. Now for your next trick build the damn thing and bring it to market. Then maybe I'll be impressed.
You are 1000% right. This ‘okay boomer’ crap needs to die. (And I’m a millennial) I’ll give an example. A customer with a Toyota Sequoia comes in for scheduled maintenance but also points out to the service writer that the driver’s seat lower trim panel is broken.
Thank you for confirming my admittedly limited observations. I’ve attended Euro GP’s and while they are well attended they are not as truly insane as COTA. I hope F1 realizes that they are nowhere near market saturation in North America. F1 needs to add additional races in the US. I can say firsthand that once you…
Thank you for sharing this. You’re doing the Lord’s work...
This is definitely good news. It’s a potential game changer with AEM getting involved with EV ECU tuning and a bonafide electric ‘crate motor’ going on sale. I am starting to dream about what troublesome ICE cars I’d like to see electrified.
Audi has been moving in this direction for two decades. They have always been ahead of the other manufacturers when it comes to interior technology. I personally think it is more distracting to use touch screens while driving but what do I know? This is what the future ‘raised on touch screens’ consumers want. I am…
Come on Mini, er I mean BMW. Just admit you don’t really want to sell an electric Mini. You ‘leased’ the Mini E in 2009 and it had a 100 mile range.
Partially true. Diesel in liquid form is very hard to ignite. Diesel vapors on the hand...
While I think the E-Type is gorgeous (especially the covered headlight model) I think the Miura is still the most beautiful car made in the modern era.
You don't? Damn, I don't know what they're teaching us at MFRI. We were told to directly drive the engine into the fire and wait for it to self extinguish.
I saw that. It has an eight-hour run time according to the manufacturer. Then you can ‘simply’ add more diesel. Yeah, that’s what firefighters need... adding flammable fuel to a fire engine or ladder truck in the middle of a scene. Brilliant design.
Totally agree with winterlegacy. Electrification may work for smaller support service vehicles but fire equipment need to A) Be able to remain onsite for hours B) Be capable of operating in high-temp, very wet environments and C) Must be able to turn around in minutes and possibly be deployed in back to back events.
I honestly did not know that the Countryman is only 2" longer than a Golf. Thanks for all the stats! They just seem so much bigger.
What is this? Hyundai is already putting cash on the hood of a brand new sedan?
Good job Mini. At least you sorta understand your customer base.
I don’t care for this segment but if I had to buy a small lifted hatchback I’d buy the CX-30. It’s definitely more attractive than the competition.
