    Me no like that. 5 Doors? Not nice. Not nice front. Not nice rear. Not nice anywhere really.

    At least the 5 doors are usable, unlike the current 5 door mini...

    But hideous. The Chinese are making some very close replicas of flash cars, they did an X5 recently that looked great. It'll fall apart if you have an accident, but hey, at least it would be cheap!
