I saw this yesterday, I really liked it

I think it could be good, put the engine from a 335D in it and it would pose as a good car, quick with economy!

Well at least the mini forum will now be able to join in on the old and boring roadster vrs coupe banter :roll:

they will sell loads of them, as nowadays nobody really cares about the looks, just the badge :thumbsdown: the fact they thought making the top look like a sporting cap, just amazes me

Horrible thing Looks like a Mini convertible with an old MGB roof grafted on.
One of those designs that people will buy them 3 months later wonder what the hell have they done and how can they sell it.

Can't blame BMW - they just need to keep coming out with variaations to extend the life of the Mini as a separate brand and keep volume up, hence all the odd ball variants.

Agree you can't blame them at all as they'll sell regardless.

Saw one in the flesh yesterday too, immediately followed by a "regular" MINI Cooper S. Much prefer the look of the normal MINI over the Coupe.

Maybe it looks better in all black...

Do you mean in the dark...!?! ;-)
