There are like 3 or 4 makes of Mini.....Rover, Austin, Morris and Mini Cooper...They're all pretty much the same, except they're made by different companies.

Levinstein - I didn't vote. Holden do have some kind of partnership with GM, I'm not sure to what extent, but I do know that V8 Holden's engines are based on American Muscle cars....I think most prominently, some model of Chevrolet.

I'm not totally sure about all this, though.
the new mini is a bmw with a 'mini' badge, therefore its german.

bmws, porsches, mercedes, the older vw golf gti(plus vw being best manufacturer of diesel cars), audi, aston martins,
