Actually, that whole rear bumper looks like it'll fit on my car

Jeez... even the rear tail lights are just about identical. These car companies have no shame when they copy so very blatantly

It's funny how people take the "cute" cue from MINIs thinking that's why people like them. In fact, it's the handling and driver feedback that has really sets MINIs apart and makes casual owners into fanatics. Sure, this thing looks something like a MINI, but I'll wager it is no MINI, and that will be it's undoing. Cute ain't enough.

Anyone that does'nt see the resemblance probably didn't see the similarity in Buick and Pontiac or thought that the Cadillac Cimarron was an original.
