Would you be upset if Honda brought out an S2000 and wanted to race a Porsche? Would that be cool or would you think Honda is overstepping their bounds?
But who cares that Mini has no class? It's not something we're getting all upset about - it's just a fact worth mentioning.

Pure marketing entertainment, which was very well done.
Look at all the attention it is still getting today.
I'd call that successful.

I do agree with CosmosMpower, something about the times tells me this showdown was not without bias.

IMO if that were to happen Honda would be the joke. The thing is, Honda would never resort to a marketing scheme like that because Honda has class. They make what they make and they don't make excuses or apologies in their marketing and they don't use gimmicks like a Porsche challenge on a Kart track.

Ironically, MINI recently did the official reveal of the facelifted version of all their products. Even though the aesthetics aren't changed much a lot of other areas are pretty substantial. Coincidence?

You obviously haven't seen Honda's race car "inspired" Accord Coupe commercial. I'd call that one of the most gimmicky things I've ever seen.

i think mini it's way over price for it's performance...
I can't think of any other car that gives that much speed, fun, and efficiency at such a low price.
