Squint your eyes a wee bit and you will see what the actual production car will look like! These concepts are always a bit mad but somewhere in there is a cracking mini estate...particularly if its an 'S'...I think it could be great.....but I want an 'S'MINI Van if it comes out. Now that would be a hoot!

well I've managed to get a hold of someone going to the show he has promised to take loads of piccies on any mini's
Cooper Coupe...
They're losing the mini-ness.
Front is too streamlined, windscreen too raked back (like a normal car).
I like the floating seats though - great idea - and the way they've made the elipse in the doortrim go right into the back - But the dash itself is over-styled, looks American-retro and would be more at home in the PT Cruiser...

I like it :approve: generally but not sure about the front end
Front end is a real mess, and it's not a real mini. They have kept the key features (for example, the line from the screen down to the wheel is the same angle) but sweeping it back is just wrong.
in saying that, the interior, the seats and the roof at the back are VERY cool.

Looks like it'll be happening.
Cool as fcuk.....not just cos i sell em either !!!
Don't like the front - Definately not MINI like.
Back, interesting, but the roof doesnt look right, IMHO.
Hope they don't go down the more money than good taste route, a la the Porsche 4x4 beast
Don't like the front end - the laid back lights and upright grille look wrong...
Don't like the HUGE Mini logo on the back!
Don't like the dash - waaaaayyyyy too styled.
But the rest of it - I like!Although it appears I'm in a minority!
If it handled like my Coop, and was as much fun, I'd have one.
