In this week’s episode of The Cooper Cast, host Dale Blankenship kicks things off with a heartfelt (and slightly sarcastic) nod to the MINI Paceman—the quirky coupe/SUV/wagon-ish thing that never quite knew what it wanted to be, but we loved it anyway.
Then we dive into some wild stuff from the world wide inter-MINI-webs, like automotive journalists who clearly copy-pasted their way through “MINI 101,” and those Chinese-built EV MINIs that—according to recent recalls—might be just a little too lit for comfort. 🔥
We wrap things up by looking at the sales success of BMW’s new M5 Touring wagon, which is outselling its sedan sibling in the U.S. So naturally, Dale asks the hard-hitting question: Did MINI give up on the Clubman too soon? (Spoiler: Probably.)
All that, plus a few chuckles, some MINI trivia, and a light reminder that being weird is what makes MINIs great.
