but you're right...
all measurements in mm (we're metric up here!):
Mini: 3723 long x 1892 wide x 1407 tall
c30: 4252 long x 2039 wide x 1447 tall
widths include mirrors (volvo spec only had that one).
so the c30 is 53cm x 15cm x 4cm bigger... (21" x 6" x 1.5")
that's a whole lot bigger! I never would have guessed it to look at them. One of my friends is 6'4" and mini was one of the few "sports cars" that fit him well (he got an S the first year they came out)... trunk is exactly the right size to hold 2 two-fours... and that's about it!
c30s are quite popular around here. But not as much as minis. those things are so common now, they're almost losing their uniqueness! both are nice looking cars imho (for what they are), but I would never buy either. do not suit our needs... that said, the volvo recharge concept (based on the c30) *is* very cool! (as is the pml flightlink mini 600Hp mini concept)...
