Twin center exit exhaust is not exactly new. Many cars have had it long before Mini.

That's the first thing I thought when I saw that too!

Now thing about towing with that...woops! So the jeep is basically useless.

Yeah I wouldn't go so far as to say that they're copying MINI by using a center exhaust :D

That's like saying MINIUSA copied everyone else by putting the Cooper exhaust on the side...

I really don't see it

Looks pretty cool to me - that 6.1's a mean powerplant and that beast is probably a lot of fun to drive

Great another over-powered SUV to watch out for.

As for the center exhaust copy, Boxster had it before MINI so I can't fault 'em much.
