Love the look of this and the references to the past.

The rear wing's a bit marmite but lets hope the kit's a dealer fit option :laugh:

Agree with gordy looks good from the front but it should look amazing and the more I look at it I kinda think no. Will be interesting to see it in the flesh so to speak.

Looks a bit cumbersome and disproportionate in a way if im honest! Obviously the only thing that this and the road car have in common is the body pretty much, but just looks heavy and will handle like a turkey!

Was just meaning the red and white livery and the number 37. Thought it was good of them to make reference to the Monte carlo

Looks like it handles well from the trial vids on youtube

Yeah, i wasn't meaning that it actually will handle badly, as obviously there is no way a bad handling car would enter into the WRC, what I mean is compared to the C4 of old that has dominated, and the new DS3, they are much smaller and look like they'd get through a forest better than the size of the Countryman! Does that make sense, it was more how it looked than actually handling?

:yawn: you just dont like it coz you'd need a ladder to get into the car... I think it looks great from the front and the back, then you look at it from the side and its :thud:OMG!! but I think this car will only be used until the 3 door version comes out then that will be the car they use in the WRC say from 2012 onwards :yes nod: (IMHO)

On the WRC prog on Sat, they had a very small section showing the car in action - never had the same paint job etc, but was looking good on the gravel. Only problem MINI will have is the weight comparison of the Countryman compared to the Fiesta and DS3 that Ford and Citroen are running next year.

Thats what I was trying to get at by saying it looks like it will handle like a turkey!
