Is Mini becoming the Club Monaco to BMW’s Ralph Lauren?

I’m not 100% sure where BMW is going with Mini… between the one off Rolls-Royce interior prototype that is somewhat of a put-down to the main product…

luxe leather interior Cooper

and now this Mini Coupe two-seater that pales next to the 1-series…

I just hope that they don’t rely on those French engines for this model when it streets next year.
