MINIs are sold through local dealerships, and many of these have their own website where test drives can be booked, services arranged and used MINIs can be bought. To make sure they keep everything 'on-brand', when dealers create their own sites they must follow guidelines from MINI.
Here's an example of a MINI dealer website.

With more and more people enjoying broadband connection to the internet, websites are increasingly able to use multimedia techniques, including the use of video.
In the run up to the launch of the new MINI Clubman, when the car itself couldn't be shown, visitors to the MINI homepage were treated to this mysterious film. It set up the Clubman as 'The other MINI' and invited people to register their interest. Those who registered were later emailed full details of the MINI Clubman with the chance to book an early test drive.
