The BMW Group's two iconic brands, MINI and Rolls-Royce, have come together to produce this rather unique creation, called the MINI Inspired by Goodwood.

 

It combines the cheeky compactness of the MINI, together with the luxuries of Rolls-Royce. Sounds pretty rich.

 

I mean, it seems like pretty much in the same vein as the Aston Martin Cygnet, yet somehow it feels a bit different.

 

Because the MINI has always been a slightly premium hatchback anyway, so to bring it up a level further doesn't make it seem out of place. In contrast, the Cygnet is simply a rebadged Toyota iQ, which, no matter how you dress it up, is still a budget city compact.

 

Just look at the wood trimming and shagpile carpets in this MINI! It feels really lush, don't you think?

 

If I have a spare couple of hundred thousand dollars, I certainly wouldn't mind buying one of these Rolls-Royce MINIs. I'm sure it'll be quite a hoot.

  • Motor Show, Card Show, they're all inherently alike

    As an automobile journalist and a keen collector of Pokemon cards, I’ve been to my fair share of Car Expos and Motor Shows, and the one thing I’ve noticed is that deep down, they’re pretty similar to the Singapore Card Show, or the various weekly/monthly trade shows that happen. I’d liken the Motor Show to the Card Show, since both only come about once or twice a year, both are ticketed events, and both are more likely to find better deals and way more options. I’ve been to both major card
