Looks like a really small X3/X5 to me

Or one that's a long long away

The thing is, not matter how badly BMW treat the mini, they will never release as many terrible versions of it as BL/Rover did...

Mind you, BMW are well on their way to beating BMC/BL/Rover in the crap versions stakes.

Not when you count a complete refusal to progress the main car in the equation...

Can't say I like it

But then I don't like the MINI convertible, MINI clubman, MINI Toupe concept or the MINI Beachcomber concept either.

I like the standard MINI though and I'll reserve judgement on the MINI Roadster concept until I see it with the roof up. Not that theres any pictures of it with the roof up so I'm guessing its not a good look.

I wouldn't say that it's terrible, but it's not my cup of tea.

LOL bmw and their antics!

Well imho a mini is and always will be the little bmc, austin, leyland or whatever you want to badge as. The bmw mini is anything but lol, its not small and it just hasnt got the magic ingrediant so suddenly lifting it up with bigger wheels and calling in an suv is just daft. Then again im biased and love classic cars so a lot new stuff just doesnt float my boat.

I hope so.

That's the only possible excuse.

It looks weird.

And not in a good way.

Lower it and I reckon it could look ok...

EDIT: Oh, just seen the rear. *Pukes*.

Defies the point of it being a bigger SUV if it's lower!

I think it disgusting and it's nice to see that they have used the utterly dreadful interior from the other mini's. Does anyone see a bit of Porsche Cayenne when they look at it?
