[Bazthemod]

i love the headlights... be interesting to see how they design the rear end :cool:

[zimbo]

Yeah baby now were talking..... :p

[zimbo]

And hopefully the boot will be HUGE due to there not being any rear seats = bonus :thumbs up:

Woo hoo :Whistle:

[Crombers]

[C.Noble]

I think I will be joining Crombers on this one... that is not a MINI... I mean how ridiculous would that look with a roll cage!?!

Definite :frown: from me.

[Fairy]

Totally agree with Crombers this is Fugly!!! :shut up:
Its horrible :eek:

[Craig]

not for me - the "classic" MINI for me.. :thumbs up:

[Crombers]

this is Fugly!!! :shut up:


Fugly ................... like it :thumbs up:

[Gismo]

Horrible :thud:

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.

[zimbo]

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]

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:

[MINI William]

Dont like this just dosent look right

[The Dogfather]

It's not a new idea

However that picture isn't the best mockup I've seen: -

[zimbo]

:Whistle: where do I sign.... :clap:

[euan]

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 ;-)

[KenL]

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

:eek: OMG I think I have died and gone to heaven, right Im off to put my name down RIGHT NOW!!!!! :clap::Whistle:

That colour is FRIGGIN AWESOME too, not too keen that particular colour for the inside of this particular car tho...

YEAH BABY....

[Scottie]

I like the seats but would look better in black I think.

[Gismo]

click on this link to see a few other pictures reading

I like that a bit better :yes nod:

[AndyP & Lenore]

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:

A.:D

[MINI William]

Hmm dont know if I like that would need to see one

[N16SHP]

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!!!

[Bazthemod]

Follow up to the coupe, Mini Roadster :cool:

See now that looks fantastic. The top Roadster
Goes out and shoots a Family member.........who needs a third seat now baby....

[AndyP & Lenore]

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.

A.:thumbs up:

[Crombers]

Nope :frown:

[Sheilz]

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:

I just think that looks absolutely stunning - hats off to BMW for keeping ahead of the styling game :thumbs up:

[Big Gordy]

5 live had some BMW mini guy on this morning stating that the 2 concept mini's that will be at the Munich (Ithink) motor show are going into production:thumbs up: Should be available in about 2 years time he reconed:yes nod:

Are these pics the final design?

[Craig]

Are these pics the final design?

we will soon find out when Ryan gets back from Frankfurt with the photos... :thumbs up:

[The Bull]

More new pics of the roadster here (http://www.netcarshow.com/mini/2009-roadster_concept/) .

[GCA3N]

I love this so much. How good looking is it in that colour too. When is this out?

[illegalhunter]

It soo should have been a tintop

[AndyP & Lenore]

It soo should have been a tintop

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.

Where you gonna put it Andy ????? A double decker underground garage coming up then.

Let you off then.:yes nod:

I love this car, want one, Kim says no, she said where would Amy go, I said in the seat next to me, oops.

[Scottie]

where is the countryman photos:argh::argh:

[weefossy]

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.

[MINI William]

Ohhh i do like these :yes nod::yes nod:.Like to see one in the flesh

[The Bull]

I like the stripes right down the grille.
