They have a certain presence on the road...
A lot of dyed in the wool MINI (and Mini) afficionados are, err, not keen, to put it politely, mainly because of it's size - "how can it be called a MINI?" etc.

I guess the market is soft roader, along the lines of X3, plus all the other mass market small / occasional drive across field type 4x4... I'll stick to my 90 for that sort of thing smile
