I know what they mean, but it's not a very good comparison. The Mini is cute, fun to drive, handles great, goes OK, is definitely iconic & individual, and has a personality. But IMHO the resemblance ends there.
They are also small, has almost no back seat room, and is not at all practical in the way Saabs have usually been. Don't get me wrong, I like Minis and a good friend has one that I've driven and spent time in, but I know that when we've convoyed from S. NH to Rochester, NY he is definitely kinda stiff when he gets out of his Mini and I could go another 7 hours.
