Question New Cooper S...Well....now you've seen it what do people think?

I still think it looks out of proportion. The top just doesn't match the bottom.

It's not electric blue, it's laser blue, as stated in the report.

Hmmmm, not sure. Do hope the interior is worth 'hiding' as the rest looks kinda dull. Front end looks dull. Rear end looks dull. Engine bay looks dull (unless you mend fridges for a living...)

Never a fan of totally integrated ICE, but is typical of BMW thinking/design so not surprised there I suppose...

I think theres going to be plenty of scope to make the JCW car visually quite different.... which is a hope. But by using a turbo they have opened the door to every tuner with a pc and a cable to get in on the act......

Better have some fancy boost guages...
