Yesterday was MINI's 50th anniversary and the MINI Coupe Concept was unveiled.







A couple articles I found.

I think the mini cooper still looks better...something is just off....if it's trying to give off a sports car feel, it ain't working.

it's a hatchback? reducing more space. which was already a problem on the predecessor. now just making it worse....

They should un-introduce it before their stock values drop.

The roof-line is too low. I've driven mini coopers and seeing this more slanted windshield with the lower roof can't possibly be good for tall people (i'm talking about the front seats).

Hmmm... the front reminds me of a SRT-4. I like the overall design, even though the rear hatch and trunk looks a bit odd. 211 hp and almost as much torque sounds like go kart fun, and scary haha.

I like it a lot more then the previous generations, tho the roof is getting a bit too low...

Because $60k isn't always pretty ;P
