The Coupe...

[AndyP & Lenore]

The thread didn't need cleaning up completely, people personal's situations will directly influence if they go for the Coupe/Roadster or not.

I'm interested in it but it'll depend on price, i.e. not a massive premium over the hatch, and the size of the boot. i.e. can you get two dogs in there. We don't need back seats so who knows this could be ideal.

I only removed the posts discussing our impending arrival. Honest.

"Size of the boot????" Surely you wouldn't put the dogs "in the boot." Or am I getting confused? again.

A.

Edit: Just looked at the Motoring File pics of the Coupe and Roadster concept and there's nowhere for a dog. Surely.

The Coupe is a hatchback with no rear seats so potentially there's enough room in the back. The Z4 coupe would fit 1 dog in easily, the problem is I have two....

I only removed the posts discussing our impending arrival. Honest.

Sorry Andy, wasn't meant as a dig just saying that the fact that you now have a dog, will influence whether you went for one of these.

Good info Stewart.

[KenL]

Yes, thanks.

Also, loads more info and pics on the motoringfile site.

I am looking forward to seeing this. Doubt my golf clubs will fit which will prevent me from buying one. If they do, I could be tempted by a lightly specced Cooper.

[Stewart]

I thought this would only be in a "works" or "S". Big question is what does a Cooper one look like without all the kit.

[The Dogfather]

Its ugly as sin. I could have done a better job.

Its competing against these two stunners: -





That's two pig ugly cars that MINI have launched in quick succession, what were they thinking?

[Mon the fish]

^^ this. It's as ugly as sin. The back end looks like it was designed by a 5 year old with crayons - the roofline doesn't match the bootline. No way I would have it over the RCZ

plus numerous technological details carried over directly from motorsport.

This just makes me laugh. I'd love to know more precise details of this 'motorsport' stuff they speak of.

[Colin]

I'm still struggling with the roof line, it's just not right It's a shame I was looking forward to this model, but I think they've missed the mark.
