I just got done researching and checking out the 2007 or later bodies of the cooper that are gonna come out and i am DISGUSTEDDDDD......... They are turning a beautiful car into something really different and wierd.... I think they shouldnt make any changes if they are gonna do that much of a horrible job at designing ..... any comments???

I TOTALLY AGREE. Its disgrace and horrible. So i think to all owners dont sell our beautiful cars they are going to be classic one day.

Let's wait and see what it looks like when it arrives; it's pretty certain that whatever they've decided to do, it will be set in stone by now.

I must admit, I would feel a lot more comfortable about it if BMW had hired outside design help on the MINI once again; judging by their recent efforts with their own cars they are in dire need of any help they can get :(

Tigger.

They did, IDG (ItalDesign). ;) That's where we got that exclusive spy video of a mock up new MINI ages ago, remember?

An extremely valid point Mr M.

Got me thinking, which is why I posted a new thread in general discussion. :)

For a real bit of comedy, follow this link:

http://www.austin-rover.co.uk/

and click on "Mini" in the left hand column,
scroll down to "Drawings & prototypes",
click on "enter" just below that,
and scroll down to the last picture.

That puts it in perspective as well :rolleyes:

Tigger.

OK folks, closing this thread, as I'd like the debate to focus on my poll thread that this one inspired, which is here: http://www.mini2.com/forum/showthread.php?t=112005
