Mini has Lost Its Mojo

Have you noticed that Minis have been a little weird? The designers at Mini are going nuts in a bad way. They're killing the Mini brand by changing features that make Mini...well, Mini. Their slogan used to be "Not Normal." That was when they weren't normal. Now, they are normal.

2015 Mini Cooper

Let's look at the problems. The first half of the problem is that they are increasing in size. The 2015 two door hardtop is three point six inches longer than the 2013 hardtop. It is the longest hardtop in history. The Mini should never increase in size. They might as well called it the Jumbo if they keep on expanding the wheelbase.

The second half of the problem with Mini is that they are being reasonable. They have located the window switches to the doors instead of the traditional center stack. They also increased it in size like many traditional cars. They are killing the characteristics of a Mini that make Mini special.

In conclusion, they are making their cars too traditional and big. They need to rewind and make their cars small and different from the crowd.

The Future of Cars

What will future cars be like? We we don't know for sure, but here are the top 5 gadgets that may be found in cars of the future. What's more, these gizmos and type of cars exist today.

1. Gesture Control

BMW 7 Series

This is something new. You can swipe and make gestures in the air to do simple tasks such as controlling the volume. It is simpler and safer than reaching for a button. It is convenient. Although, I'm still waiting to see if the sensor works reliably.

2. Giant Touchscreens

Tesla Model S

These touchscreens clear the dashboard of button clutter. They control everything including the sun roof, air suspension, and much more. It looks sweat but makes the dash a little boring.

3. Auto Pilot

Autopilot is already found in airplanes. Now, people are taking it further with self driving cars. A recent update in the leader right now, Tesla vehicles means that the cars can now change lanes, automatically, automatically park without anyone in it and pull itself out, and steer away when an accident could happen to the vehicle. Not only that, the vehicle can steer at low speeds. Tesla is only the leader in releasing these things. Audi and others are also working on it.

4.  Electric Cars

Nissan Leaf

Eventually, the world is going to run out of oil. What is the solution? It is the electric car. It produces zero emissions. They have instant torque like a supercharger. You plug it into a charger, and it charges like a phone. Unfortunately, there are crazy huge and expensive battery packs required so that there can be the same range as a gas car, and most don't have that. They also take longer to charge, and aren't as practical when it comes to road trips.

5. Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars

Toyota Mirai
(No, it's not the next Prius)

These cars are just like gas cars but produce no emissions. They also refill like gas cars. They have similar gas range. Only thing is, what they run on will never run out because it is the most common element.
