If a Sienna can be that big, a Mini Countryman can be as big is it wants to be. Fun fact from me: I think this thing is gorgeous.

Remember when “minivan” meant a small van?

I don’t think it looks too bad other than being to plasticy and “boy racer”. My big complaint (other than all the better cars for roughly the same $) is the name. Nismo. I mean, I get the portmanteau, but doesn’t it sound just a little like a Cartoon Network show?

What’s the opposite of Motor Week?

It only sucked compared to TG UK. Compared to anything else on TV it was pretty good. Contrived and strained at times, but pretty good

Yep. Plus the red stitching accents.

You know, even if I had unlimited resources at my disposal I’d probably come up with something just like that.

I know where you can trade it in on a 2016 BMW 330i with only 31 miles on the clock. Well, probably a few more miles now.

I got a blue 2012, which in my totally unbiased opinion is the best looking of them all (though not by much). Red was the only other non-neutral color. Option-wise my only “must-have” was/is/forever will be a sunroof. And heated seats. I think my model is “GTI with convenience package”, or something like that. …

Agreed. I wouldn’t look good in a “Monster” hat.

One day this past summer I was at a stoplight with my windows down and had to call my wife. My car asked to confirm “Do you want to call wife?”. The guy in the car next to me heard my car and yelled “NO!”. My car said “Cancel”. I might have been mad if I wasn’t laughing so hard.

There needs to be an alcohol wipe dispenser right next to it

My daughter convinced me to get the two-door because she thought it was cool how the seats flipped to get in the back where she’d be riding. Since it was cheaper and the budget was already stretched, the right color/options I went with it. Before the first fill-up “Hey Dad! How do you roll down the windows back…

I think most birds would be FWD. Except this one:

I want to know more about this Cacataibo tribe!

I think its LBJ

I think I’ve come up with a solid anti-theft device that should be very effective yet costs next to nothing. I believe draping an old pair of underpants over the steering wheel, specifically a ratty pair of tighty-whities that have greyed with age and mileage. Deterrence, folks!

I’d love to have an adventure like this but I think my lack of an obscene amount of disposable income is what keeps me acting like such a pansy.

I love these cars despite all logic. I test drove one (not the police version, I wasn’t that cool) back in the day and decided against it for three reasons: the shift lever hit one of the seats which I felt was poor design, the wispy smoke coming from under the hood, and finally having to be picked up by the dealer…

More importantly, will it have a 3-year, 30000 mile warranty that includes routine maintenance?
