Not a MINI

We were in Curaçao (The Dutch Caribbean) last month, and when our tour bus pulled into a beach parking lot, I saw what looked a lot like a MINI from the distance. Of course, when I looked at it up close, it wasn't a MINI or any version of a MINI. Must be a Chinese car that took its inspiration from you know what.
