At best comments are (most, not all) a cartoon version of reality that I have often found to be very bizarre based on my own conversations with MINI owners. Nice to know they equate often polarized views (thinking back to the R56 debate) as an indicator of enthusiasm and loyalty, pure and simple. I applaud MINI for staying the course, keeping the brand true to itself and keeping the drama seen within the MINI community in perspective. It takes some tricky perception to understand comments made in one moment...many of us have a variety of views all held at the same time. To express a more holistic opinion would take a very long comment....kinda like this one is becoming!!! :)</p> As flattering as it is to know MotoringFile is frequent reading, I do hope the good folks at MINI assess the comments here with a massively huge grain of salt.
