It does not actually look like a Mini very much, except perhaps the rear. It however did immediately remind me of a Japanese car from around 8 years ago available on the Japanese market. Whether this was the Daihatsu Sirion I can't tell you. I have seen this car in the metal. It does not actually look like a Mini very much, except perhaps the rear.

Lifan has made no effort to disguise it but at least they have made a 4 door version which is more than BMW has done. I don't like the Mini. Anyway, I thought boot space was important in China? There is hardly any in a Mini. I’m guessing BMW will taken legal action to get this car stopped from going into production.
