This new evidence has me reconsider my verdict on the coupes, but I'm still not entirely convinced.

One of the toughest passenger compartment bodyshells in its class though......
The MINI has a torsional rigidity of about 24,000Nm/deg compared with the Mini at around 6000Nm/degree, the stiff MINI bodyshell that Rover originally designed for the R50 (without a roll cage) also helped give the good handling characteristics they wanted.





^ This MINI driver in the US was in a 55MPH collision with the passenger quarter of a Kia that got knocked into his lane from another vehicle rear ending it. He was just a little bruised up.

MINI in link below was in a hit and run. The engine was down the street from the rest of the car. In this one the MINI's driver suffered a fractured sternum, torn ligament in his ankle and bumps and bruises. From the looks of the car, that's not bad!

250,000th MINI Countryman leaves the factory today
"The launch of the MINI Countryman saw the British premium brand make the move into a new segment and write a new chapter in its successful history. And today the 250,000th MINI Countryman rolled off the assembly line at production and development partner Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria. This production landmark, reached just two-and-a-half years after sales began, offers clear evidence that the MINI brand’s hallmark driving fun and time-honoured style also hold a persuasive allure in the compact premium segment. “The strong global demand for the MINI Countryman represents a compelling endorsement of the rigorous expansion strategy implemented for the MINI range,” says Harald Krüger, Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, MINI, Motorcycles, Rolls-Royce, Aftersales BMW Group. The roll-out of the 250,000th MINI Countryman follows hot on the heels of the start of MINI Paceman production. The seventh model in the brand’s line-up is likewise built in Graz."
