The MINI concept car isn't too bad a design but it seems the MINI logo is rather large and overall it reminds me more of a hearst or ambulance than a MINI. I suppose it would be a good mail truck or delivery van. I like the dual exhaust tips in the mid bumper- hopefully that will lessen the chance of leg burns when loading or unloading.

At least it is better than-

or

Now if the MINI had a steering wheel and dash like this-

I'd be all over it!

I am confused...why are we comparing a MINI to a Rolls Royce? I see no correlation between the two .


Oh...but I will admit, I do kind of like the traveller from this angle

He's remarking on the stylistic similarities - Notice the lights and the shape of the bumper, particularly. It's interesting because both are made by BMW.

I'll take anything that has double digits on the tach and a '340' on the speedometer.

This reminds me of AutoWeek's "body double" pictures. When the Rolls first came out, I took a picture of our bathroom scale from the front 3/4 view and submitted to AW... but they must not have liked it.

I like sporty wagons. The P1800S was my favorite wagon. Forgive me, but I also saw a Caprice wagon done all black monochrome and tinted glass, like a Impala SS, smoothed, lowered with good size rubber and moon style wheel covers and it was hot too.

The phantom uses a unique chassis platform, body and interior. The fact that this car is considered a luxury vehicle is proof of how good this car really is. I would go for the Phantom.
