MINI Cooper as standard field vehicle for this company

You've seen Best Buy using the VW Beetle as their "official" car for the Geek Squad. Now this company www.makeitwork.com is using the Mini Cooper.

Personally, I don't like it as it's diminishing the Mini's "exclusitivity". What do you all think?

Foxton's has been using MINIs for a few years already. It's pretty cool, I guess. Around here, in one of the largest car per capita areas in the country, MINIs are still pretty rare.

I think the exclusivity is gone. Around here, I see a LOT of MINIs, where as back in 2003 when I bought mine, there were probably two others in the whole county.

I've always though Minis should be the official company car for Apple inc.

Not where I live (Orange County, California). To be honest, around here, I see many more Porsche's than Mini's.

Certainly no exclusivity here in San Francisco. I frequently see 6 or more MINIs when I walk the dog in my neighborhood. Also see this post from thirdraildesignlab:
