Influential MINIness?

Now that I have my own MINI, I've been finding myself noticing little things on other cars that appear to have been heavily inspired by MINI design. Maybe it's unintentional, perhaps even coincidental, but they keep showing up. Here are a couple examples:


1) The Ford Flex
Not only does this look like a boxy and bloated version of a MINI, but they are also pushing the contrasting roof color.


2) The Porsche Cayenne S Logo
It speaks for itself... I've seen this on other cars as well, but I can't remember what model/makes they were at the moment.



I laugh every time I find something like this, so please, share your possibly-inspired-by-MINI discoveries!

The shape of the S has been around long before MINI. Toyota and Acura have used a similar one too.
