MINI's Best. Test. Drive. Ever. Period.

[Autoblog] Mini's Best Test Drive Ever has everything, plus Falconer

Imagine, for a moment, that you're on your way to a car dealership. For the sake of argument, let's say it's a Mini Cooper Coupe you've got your eye on. You arrive at the dealer, hand over your license and get in for a test drive. What's the absolute best thing that could happen?

According to one man, these six words define the test drive that dreams are made of: Stewardess. Salt flats. Paratroopers. Sushi. Falconer.

No, those aren't the six words we'd have come up with either, but, after watching the post-jump video, it's hard to argue with the results. Ask yourself: Have you ever had a better test drive than this? Yeah, neither have we. Check it out after the break, and feel free to read all about the promotion that prompted the video in the press release.

I saw this commercial at a movie theater yesterday and frankly, I was surprised that those five words won the Motor-tober contest. Seemed kind of dumb to me but they were able to make a great commercial from them and maybe that was the objective.

Meh, glad the video was cool, but for me the words were a bit lame.
