Maybe they would produce it, but with insurance and crash regs in the USA, doubt we'd ever see it.

Ick. The ONLY reason I would drive that would be to get back at all the jack***es who think that because my car is tiny, they have the right to tailgate me, cut me off, pull out in front of me, change lanes right into me, etc. It would be the Jack-Jack of MINIs.

Of course, that thing is really probably meaner looking than it is big, and would in reality be about as intimidating as a barking Pomeranian.

I've never heard a Pomeranian bark, but they are supposed to be great anti-oxidants.

Trust me. A barking Pomeranian is worse than most others. Mine can whip up a yap that will leave your ears ringing.

Must be why it's easy to find Pomeranian Cheese.

Not sure if I would want to drive that thing it looks like something produced when you breed two different species of animal together.

It looks like a MINI crossed with an FJ Cruiser.
