The RR is a poster star for conspicuous consumption...a tad over the top in terms of simply transporting 4 people. On the other hand, you may well be able to get 4 in a Mini, but I wouldn't want to be one of them! (Actually, I'm probably 2 of them...so maybe I would want to be just the one!) So I guess the optimum car for modern peeps is something Focus-sized, where you could get out at the other end without needing the attentions of a chiropractor.

I wonder how much longer BMW can go before they have to rename the MINI brand, cos none of the current ones are even close to being small...
