I was wondering if anyone on this site would know or be able to find out if the MINI E vehicles that will be going to the field trial participants this spring will have the huge word MINI painted on the side like in this photo, or be plain like in this photo. I assume the ones with logo were done for the auto shows where the car was announced. But could MINI USA possibly be planning on having the field trial participants drive such garish advertisements? I hope not.

 

I think I have solved this. I used a web search to find all press releases from MINI USA corporate headquarters relating to the MINI E, and the first one I saw, from October, had a name and e-mail address of a PR person there. I sent her e-mail and simply asked her, and she responded: The MINI letters will not be part of the customer cars, only the logo.


This is good news.

 

Thanks for tracking down the answer Tim. Now, about those yellow sidewalls....
