This goes away from the entire principle of the Mini: a small square fun commuter car.
The Brits with any memory of the original must be ratcheting up their ire toward the Germans. Expect war? Who knows?
The Mini is/was one of the most distinguished brands in automotive history, even after the early stages of BMW's takeover of the brand. Mini and (the) Porsche 911 are actually 1 and 2 in popularity, IIRC.
Now, as far as keeping its original lines, only the 911 exists.
