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, |
Who said that we were talking about the NEW mini?
All other, older Minis are British. The design is British. So as far as I'm concerned, Minis are still veryu much British. Simply owned by Germans.
