Maybe like Danny Divito and Arnold Schwarzenegger? I suppose they are both silver and have four tires.

But they are two different shades of silver. And the wheels are also different. Uh,..wait,..those are two different vehicles!!! BY GUM, I GOT IT! OMG!! BUT THEY LOOK SOOOOOO DIFFERENT!!!

How could they be two different vehicles?!?! I mean,..there is nothing about them that is even close to the same, yet they look sooooo different!! I am amazed. Shocked,..even!!

OMG!! They do have wheel gap!! EEEEEEK!

Now, when you can come back with a pic of them side-by-side, it might mean something (not really). But given the distance from the vehicles is radically different between the two shots, you cannot compare much of anything. You could have more fun if you posted a pic of an Abrahm's tank. Get the distance right and the gap can appear the same as the Mini. Or even a Hummer.

But it is proving to be an entertaining outlet.

I'm not a fan of the R56, but this was, at best, a pathetic attempt at humor.

1. The Mini looks to have more ground clearance.

2. The RAV4 is as fast to 60 mph.

The Mini is a car, the other is an ugly SUV-wannabe.

If they were separated it was way before birth...more on the genus level at best. Birds have wings and so does the space shuttle...something like that.
