People have been cleverly pointing out that the new mini is bigger than the original for 17 years now! That’s half my lifetime!
The problem you've missed is that the Mini is as bigger than other hatchbacks. The original Mini was developed by BMC to be simple, have 80% of the floor space dedicated to the cabin and to be small for UK roads... hence they called it a Mini, not a F**king Great Big Ugly Munter (the name badge would have been wider than the car). The Mini was designed to be small and practical, modern Maxi's are anything but.

One of the best car designs ever. If it was in left hand drive, and had an engine that was fairly common instead of an in-house timebomb, I'd have one in a heartbeat.
There are some LHD cars- e.g. one or two available for sale in Switzerland- for a price, admittedly!fatboy b said:

The whole jag range now is just styled with a ruler, all slab nosed and silly headlights, really not keen after the first XF was so handsome.That silver one does look quite nice though. But i suppose the same is true of most optioned up cars

Worst though, are the new tail lights. The original allowed an Aston-esque shape to lighting elements. On the new one, they've retained the basic design with the crossbar, but forced the F-Type lighting signature in, ruining the entire point of the original design. They then added an awkward double dip to differentiate it from the XE, it looks so forced - and I suspect it was by the brand recognition people.

k up, looks like it’s been designed with a ruler, why not make the back end look like a XJ instead of the F type, that could have been something special. And it annoys me they rear lights are led but the indicators are halogen.
