New Mini Cooper

It may have to grow on me. I'm not sure if it's better but it doesn't look worse. I wonder if the inside will look the same.

it's ok but i don't really wanna see the 4-door version of it.

bavarian19 · 07-28-2006, 03:58 PM

uh oh.... that doesnt look so good...

Outside evolution, inside revolution (not my words).

Here is a pic of the new interior, apparently designed by Flavor-Flav, based on the size of the new center dial:

maybe, but it's still way more fun to drive than any 3 series without an M on the back of it

Now that would be a trick, since BMW uses 5 x 120 pattern and MINI has 4 x 100

I'd prefer the CSL (M3 Competition Package) Reps

i prefer the prior design over the new revised mini pictured.

they had to meet new pedestrian hood impact requirements and raised the hood line... looks too tall imo.

hell... it may grow on me in time... as many revisions do.

Andrew - I agree with you for sure, however it is still somewhat hard to tell from the camo on these cars shown above.

Here is the first uncovered pic from Road and Track:

ward · 07-28-2006, 10:48 PM

duck tape is actually a brand of duct tape

ZuerstBMW · 07-28-2006, 10:51 PM

The new four door is actually pretty neat. I saw it at the Auto show when I was in Madrid in June. I will have to post the pics once I get home from work.
I actually like the current design better. They are really a fun car to drive.

shuzmaker · 07-28-2006, 11:06 PM

Asiann · 07-28-2006, 11:08 PM

I really don't like them at all!

ward · 07-28-2006, 11:12 PM
