    it looks like the coupe' will have a "Pop-up" rear spoiler while travelling at certain speeds by the looks of it!!, looking not too shabby so far

    Still not sure about the back end. Would have to see it in the flesh.

    I know what you mean Colin... It's like the 'Fast Show' - "Does my Bum look big in this?"

    IMO there's something not QUITE right proportionally with the roof and the body, it still looks a bit "Big Heed, Wee Bunnet", like a MINI with a roof chop (which is arguably what it is), rather than an integrated design. But like you said, I'd have to see the finished article in the metal. I reckon it'll go very well with the JCW running gear though!

    I still don’t fancy the look of this but that’s just on what I've seen so far. Given a Works Hatch and this I'd still want the hatch I’m sure about it. If I got over the flashiness of having it on the road that is first. It will be a head turner for the first year that’s for sure and a cracking car on the road to drive I’m sure. I like the Roadster better.
    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!

    I really can't wait to see this.

    No sure if I will be willing to pay the price for it as it will no doubt be more expensive than a hatch even if it is as cheap or cheaper to make.
