So I have been seeing a lot of cars here lately that look like a MINI and I think that they may pretend to be a MINI so I was wanting to start this thread to see how many cars out there think that they are MINIs.
I will begin with the Toyota FJ with its body and roof being different colors. Its trying to think it is a MINI.
If you look at the early Toyota Landcruiser you will also see a contrasting roof also. That is what they are aiming for. No way that thing is remotely posing as a MINI.
Hey, look at this aberration, it is called Suzuki Swift and it is distributed here in Mexico, by the way not very popular...

Funny thing today my wife and I were driving and some REALLY lowered, what looked like a fiberglass bodied, short and small what I thought was a mini. He honked and we went by and by the time I realized what it was, we were past it.
It almost looked like a Nascar legends car in the shape of a mini.
Too bad I didn't get a pic.

Sounds like you saw a MINI Marcos or posibly a Unipower GT.
The first few times I saw a flex, I though it was a Clubman.

Earlier this week I had a UPS driver stop by my house to deliver a package and saw my Mini parked out front and said, "That's a really nice PT Cruiser." And I said, "Yes its a nice Mini Cooper S."
I really see almost no resemblance besides the hatchback design.
yeah... not mini look alike but the fact that they comparing mini with... THOSE "things"... "sigh"

I am no closet SX-4 fan, but anyone posting here ever actually drive one?
The other day I was following one through about 5 miles of twisties and damn if I didn't have to work to keep up. Didn't seem to handle bad at all. Maybe the 4 wheel drive helps.
If your budget didn't allow a Mini they might be a more fun answer than a Toyonda offering. Never driven, or even sat in one, but if I needed such a car, I would check it out.
