Mini - basic company info and current lineup
Throughout its half a century long life, Mini has changed manufacturers and owners, but its concept has remained intact.
The idea of maximizing passengers' space without sacrificing the driving abilities made an icon of this small car.
It has influenced the pop culture immensely.
It was and still is equally loved by men and women - women love it for its looks, agility and handling while men love it ... hm, well, for the same reasons.
That's a rare achievement in auto industry - perhaps only the VW Beetle has similar reputation.
Current Lineup:
- Mini Hatch: - First, One, One D, Cooper (D, S)
- Mini Convertible: - One, Cooper (D, S)
- Mini Clubman: One, One D, Cooper (D, S), Soho
- Mini Countryman: One, One D, Cooper (D, S), Soho
