OMG! This is still the case? Even after some 60, 65 years after?
I'm sure the MINI coupe target population (25-35) really do not care about Spitfire anymore.

Opas can still drive their Opels.

The name would fit MINI perfectly: MINI Spitfire. MINI is English brand after all.
Wouldn't be surprised 4er was actually ditched due political incorrectness as well (Vierer vs Führer).
Ich fahre den Führer (/ Vierer).

Hillarious.
Btw, don't Opel own the rights for Speedster? So ... Will we get MINI Sportster then?
