And? A Fiesta isnt a big party either! Nor does a Golf play golf (in fact you probably cant even fit a set of clubs in the boot). And a Polo doesnt play any sports at all!

It's a just a name.
Yeah but a fiesta isn't called mini
mini
denoting a miniature version of something.

The selling point of the original mini was it's size. That's why it was called mini ...

As above it should now be called obese
But it was when it was first released. The old Minis were ACTUALLY mini.

The new one should be call a Fat.

That's great but the BMW version never claimed to be mini, it was re-launched as a brand/marque in 2000 for a hatchback and along with that the selling point changed. People need to get over themselves and the historic reason behind the name instead of being upset.

Next they'll be shocked that BMWs aren't all made in Bavaria! Although think the hq is still there.

Looked at this, then looked at my car, and couldn’t help thinking we’ve taken several steps backwards in design over the years (although definitely several steps forward in pedestrian impact safety)
