WE DOUBT MOST car buyers have heard of Reginald Kenneth Dwight, but they will have listened to the music of Elton John. In short, a name change can help you stand out, and that’s exactly the thinking with this new Mini Cooper.
You see, when BMW reinvented the Mini hatchback in 2001, there was only one model. Today, though, there are multiple Minis to choose from, ranging from hatchbacks to SUVs, so the brand has decided a new identity is needed; where previously ‘Cooper’ denoted a mere trim level, now it represents the hatchback range as a whole.
