Its more of a MINI than the crossman "4x4" or whatever its called/is?

Those pics are pure photoshop by someone who knows less about MINI than us. I would not think it will actually look like that.

I would think that its design could well be followed by the mk3 new MINI.

Just saw pics of the new peugeot coupe', which if I remember correctly we share the same engine with so I wonder if their coupe' will resemble the minis? :confused:

Bazthemod
20th August 2009, 06:20 PM
Rumor is that the next generation mini will share the same chassis as Peugeot so maybe this will set the ball rolling? :rolleyes:

I don't think its a wise move really but hey :frown:

Im going to Frankfurt motor show so will get a peek at the concept! :thumbs up:

Looks quite funky, but if the MKIII Mini doesn't have round headlights I'm going to be very upset. It's a key design feature of the mini, just because they don't fit so easily on the new cars because of EU pedestrian legislation doesn't mean I have to like it ;-)

They could make them elliptical and at the correct angle could still look like circles!

That blue is very nice indeed, even if I'm not too sure it works on the alloys - a bit much maybe.:Whistle:

But, I much prefer the look of the convertible in the first set of pics rather than the coupe.:thumbs up: The latest convertible pics from Paul are a bit..... iffy.:Whistle::frown:

I love it in the blue, not a fan of the orange. Personally the Mini should just stay as the Mini, but give it a couple of years and a'l probably have one lol!!!

Tidied up the "roadster threads" a wee bit. I've merged Baz's thread with Zimbo's thread as they two cover the same subject, albeit with different pics.

Love that blue. Pretty close to leccy blue. I also like the funky green in the photoshop pics. wish BMW would be a bit more imaginative with their colour ranges and stop aiming colours to appeal to foggies and BMW drivers :Whistle::Whistle:

John, it's not often you and I agree, but on this, you're spot on. I honestly thought this was gonna be a tin top. And to see it as a soft top is very disappointing. However, it still looks waaay better than the current convertible MINI (IMHO), so we'll probably still be front of the queue when launched for sale.

I'm with Crombers on this one. think the roof line looks naff. Surely it is a removable tin top? Doesn't look like cloth to me in the picture. Hated the soft top on our convertibles, only liked them with the roof down, which is about the same with this one. They still ain't got it right.
