Mini Coupé Concept 2009

It just needs a bit more of work, specialy that spoiler thing, i'm sure it would look a lot better with a clean roof line to the back.

I read on auto-motor-sport website that the designers were inspirated by a baseball-cap while creating the roof.

You know, the first time I saw the side profile, I thought it looked like it was wearing a backwards baseball cap.

I think it'd look better as a proper notchback. Something along the lines of the Nissan Figaro, perhaps.

It would actually help a lot I think, if they made the pillars body color. Right now, it looks like they did a conversion they were very unsure of so tried to hide the actual design by just making everything black. It reeks of insecurity.

[ScionDriver]

I don't like it. It's all right and I think it could grow on me but they messed up somewhere. The front looks good but the back looks like a Mini that's been chopped. The back is real bad.

[Cotterik]

they have whole heartedly shat all over the dreams of the original mini.

[cmcpokey]

i think you are all looking at this with the wrong perspective. think of this as a reincarnation of the mini marcos. look at it through those glasses, and it doesnt look so terrible.

[pimento]

I reckon it'll work a lot better as the eventual speedster varient.

i wannit.

[DesmoRob]

Well its a mini, so its supposed to look awkward, but they over did it with that roof.

[whiteballz]

I think its genuinely a step forward in terms of design and a brilliant niche product.

What else out there is like this? I think its a great toy - I'd own one, and if I had the cash for a car in this things price bracket I'd definitely test drive it.

[clutch-monkey]

they need to actually finish the canopy and roof, will look good then.

who says you need to be ready to buy the car in order to test drive it. I just drove an '05 A4 Avant 1.8T at the Audi lot the other day . If you are interested to see what a car has to offer, just create a story. Mine was that "we've recently acquired a dog, and the C class just isn't cutting it anymore." LOL. Now I know that I'm way happier with my car because the cabin is far quieter, the ride is far smoother, and it feels much more solid.
