MINI has taken to advertising the new Cooper Coupe like a duck to water, after all, what better car to sell on Facebook and Youtube than a hip two door model with a poky 1.6-liter engine and racing stripes. And let’s not forget about that roof, which the designer says is modeled after a back-to-front baseball cap. Twitter that guys!
Their latest commercial for the Coupe has received a lot of attention from the online world, and we are told it’s because... the little old ladies from China are “cute”. At least that’s what the comments say.

The ad shows the new MINI landing on a parachute, in it being your average Joe and a biker chick clad in tattoos and sporting an enticing nose piercing. They land smack in the middle of Hong Kong. After that comes her angry biker boyfriend that quickly gives chase, but we expect the carmaker wants him to go after the car not the girl.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
