Neighbour bought a new mini today, it is huge!!!

I think it is breaking the law now under the trade discription act calling itself a Mini. Should in now not be called a Maxi or something similar?

I believe that BMW did not have the foresight to buy the 'Maxi' name. I wonder who owns it now?

Sadly, it's much the same for skirts and dresses of the same name.

I would think a Maxi is more reliable than the current breed of new Mini models.

We should stick to the standard nomenclature.

We had Minis and Superminis, so now we should have the MINI and the SUPERMINI.
