Really? I guess those RWD platforms are a pure illusion of marketing.
I guess the reality is that the Mini is every bit the car as the "more
expensive BMW's", which only sell for higher prices due to marketing
or "badge engineering".

Mini's are not BMW's. A Mini driver is in fact incorrect if he claims
to be driving a BMW. Mini's are lesser cars, built to a lesser
standard.

I can't believe that anyone needs this explained to them.
