Mini Auto Show Coverage

Mini is a brand of small cars that began with the Mark I designed by Sir Alec Issigonis in 1959. Originally sold under the Austin and Morris brand names, Mini became the small car's actual name in 1964. Made famous by one of cinema's best car chases in the film "The Italian Job," the car's design remained relatively unchanged except for different front ends until the all-new Mini Cooper was launched by BMW in 2001.

Detroit: Mini John Cooper Works Paceman is a potent little hot hatch in a fat suit 1358200140

If there's one thing we're never going to complain about, it's that Mini has found it necessary to put the John Cooper Works treatment on every single one of its models.

Paris: 2013 Mini Paceman is a good answer to a question nobody asked 1348777260

Look, much as we like the Mini Countryman – we did spend a year with one, after all – we find it hard to believe that people are clamoring for a less-functional version of it. That said, we had our doubts about the four-door Countryman, and it turned out to be a pretty sweet, if pricey, little package. So, the Paceman. It's pretty much ...

Fiat is aiming its 500 lineup straight at Mini with the 500L and now this Countryman rival, the 500X.
