An experiment conducted in London shows that the new MINI is the world’s strongest babe-magnet. This 2012 MINI attracted 28 very skinny and flexible ladies.

The 2012 MINI out-attracted the classic Mini by 5 ladies. The old MINI attracted only 23 ladies. Both are new Guinness World Records™ .

    I know a young guy who inherited his grandmother's 2003 Park Avenue in mint condition. He always has a bevy of young ladies who love the room and ride in big cars. He takes full advantage of the column shift and bench front seat. With everything being downsized, big is going to be a status symbol. The kid is going to be a dirty old man, though. He has a double rear view mirror, one facing the back seat, and he tells the ladies "there's so much room you can cross your legs!"

      @wsn All three have comparable rear hip and shoulder room, but the Buick has the most rear leg room. The Avalon is virtually identical in rear seat room to the Crown Vic. It may just seem bigger because it's in a relatively smaller package. The comparison is to what the ladies are used to, which is usually much smaller rear seats.

    I can attest to the ladies loving MINIs. I get a lot more staring and comments from girls when I'm in my Countryman than I did in the past two months that I've been driving around a Benz, BMW and Audi.

  • MaintenanceCosts Poorly packaged, oddly proportioned small CUV with an unrefined hybrid powertrain and a luxury-market price? Who wouldn't want it?
  • MaintenanceCosts Who knows whether it rides or handles acceptably or whether it chews up a set of tires in 5000 miles, but we definitely know it has a "mature stance."Sounds like JUST the kind of previous owner you'd want…
  • 28-Cars-Later Nissan will be very fortunate to not be in the Japanese equivalent of Chapter 11 reorganization over the next 36 months, "getting rolling" is a luxury (also, I see what you did there).
  • MaintenanceCosts RAM! RAM! RAM! ...... the child in the crosswalk that you can't see over the hood of this factory-lifted beast.
  • 3-On-The-Tree Yes all the Older Land Cruiser’s and samurai’s have gone up here as well. I’ve taken both vehicle ps on some pretty rough roads exploring old mine shafts etc. I bought mine right before I deployed back in 08 and got it for $4000 and also bought another that is non running for parts, got a complete engine, drive train. The mice love it unfortunately.
