MINI Reference in CNN.com Lexus Article
Below is a snippet of an article on CNN.com about the new Lexus and its "park assist" feature (for parallel parking or backing into a space)
"...You press some arrows in the screen to line up the green box with the area in which you'd like to actually place the car. (If you were doing this in Manhattan you would, by this time, have watched someone in a Mini Cooper drive nose first into the space while you're poking at the arrows.)..."

PS: your sig is so cute
Aside from the Mini issue, can you imagine sitting in the street, in a large city, blocking traffic while you're pushing buttons? Gawd! I can just see Guido and Rocco knocking on the drivers window, "Hey you'se, da boss would like you to come back to his car and have a talk wit you'se."

Yay MINIs for making people laugh!
If you were doing this in Manhattan you would, by this time, have watched someone in a Yaris drive nose first into the space while you're poking at the arrows. = Not as funny
If you were doing this in Manhattan you would, by this time, have watched someone in an Aveo drive nose first into the space while you're poking at the arrows. = Not as funny
