The common stereotypes when it comes to mini brands are that they are all inferior, or their quality is lacking. There is a lot of truth in these stereotypes because some mini brands have had issues with quality, such as the case with Mini Cooper. However, this only marginalizes the success and impact of many successful minis that have no major issues with quality. In addition to not judging smaller brands by their size, we should also not judge them based on what their brand stands for.
For example, Mercedes-Benz has the reputation of being a performance brand. However, the company is just as concerned with safety and fuel efficiency as they are with performance. Moreover, they don’t just make cars; they also manufacture trucks and even aircraft parts to meet their clients’ needs. In addition to meeting their client’s needs, Mercedes-Benz also provides its clients with an engaging experience by consistently making improvements on their vehicles. In addition to the improvements they make, Mercedes-Benz also makes sure to keep the community updated on their progress through social media.
The Mini brand has also been earning praise for how they are taking care of their current customers. On top of just providing exemplary products, Mini is also working to improve their product offerings by releasing a bigger and faster production version of the Mini Coupe and Clubman in 2016. They have also announced that they will be making more sports models in response to the success of their roadster. Mini will also be collaborating with BMW to make an electric crossover. Some of their other vehicle models include the Mini Hardtop, Mini Countryman, Mini Paceman, and the upcoming Mini Countryman ALL4
The Toyota Camry might not be a mini car. However, it is considered a mid-sized car as compared to compact cars like the Honda Fit and Toyota Yaris. It is also important to note that many other brands consider the Camry a mid-sized car.
Toyota’s midsize sedan is an American-made car. However, Toyota is also open to collaborating with other manufacturers as they are in the process of building a partnership with Chinese automaker GAC.
The Honda Fit takes the reputation of Honda to a whole new level with its high quality and entertaining driving dynamics. The Fit has been called by some critics as “the Mercedes-Benz of cars”. Although the Fit has been called a mid-sized car by some, it is still better classified as a mini car.
