Jeremy Clarkson FINALLY likes a car?

As you can tell, there is much I like about this new car. Like its predecessor, it pays homage to the original Mini, and has a genuinely classless feel as a result, but it’s loaded up with all sorts of gimmickry, too, which gives it a modern, funky feel.

It's because it's British.

If it were a Mercedes, he'd be saying how ridiculous the center gauge is and that they tried too hard with the design.

Oh and, he really likes my car. SECOND-favorite convertible-- the only reason he likes the new XK better is because... drum roll... it's British.

Few months ago,i saw Clarkson's test-drive with the RR Phantom.He was simply amazed by the car but you could tell that he couldn't stand the fact that it's made by Germans with a German engine.He was simply angry and disappointed but in the same time,he simply loved the car.

Mini is a very well appreciated car in Europe and Clarkson just confirmed that.In my opinion,the Mini is perfect i wouldn't change anything in it.It's the perfect car for young people who wanna have fun.It's very "chic".If it's a Cooper S,well,you got the perfect combination.
I think that Clarkson should (and probably is) realize that BMW practically reinvented the Mini and did a hell of a good job at it.If it wasn't for the Germans,the Mini's fate would have been the same as Rover's,disappearing.
