Waiting for the Mini D- 3.5l/100km even best Prius (Aust test) Well that's what they say "beauty is in the eye of

Did their designers even think about that during the design process? Or maybe they thought 'Mini customers are already a pretentious bunch that only care about looking cool without considering practicality', so it wouldn't matter anyway. @nmh: there is barely any room in the Mini as it is, what do you think the mid engine or RWD platform is gonna do to luggage/seating space?
