Posted by admin  Published in Bmw, Toyota

Another week, another new rumored partner in opposition to MINI platform sharing. This week it’s Toyota and the next generation iQ. For those that don’familiarily know, the Toyota iQ is a somewhat revolutionary city car that (through intelligent packaging and engineering) delivers more interior space than a Smart car while root relatively the same size.

First reported on by Insideline and that time Autocar the talks are in the earliest stages. However the idea is that MINI could share the platform and more interior components to help develop a new extent of MINIs smaller than the current R56 two door hatch.
