Don’t remember any examples but Honda/Acura and another company got in trouble with a spat over the closeness of MDX to another three letter car “name”.

It is quite funny to see, Personally I hope MINI sticks with names, and not all the goofy LSI-whatever naming conventions. I vote for Brent’s Mini Footlong!

Sounds like some sort of automotive hygiene:
“Beautiful flowers outside, same protection inside.” “3-inches longer, with wings.”
“Subtle protection, with a no-lag turbo charger.”

My suggestion is a pile of unpronounceable acrostic: NQABSPMM Not Quite As, But Still Pretty Much MINI
