Not sure whether I like that or not. It looks a bit like that Porsche.

On a second look its gowing on me

Too bad AutoExpress is the Weekly World News of the car world, I would really like my next MINI to be a diesel Monte.

It does look like the Porsche Cayenne GTS.

Although SUVs are not my favourite vehicles at all, I must confess that I like how that MINI Monte looks! However, I'm not too crazy about the name...it reminds me of green beans and jalapeños!..."Del Monte"...

Thats interesting, because a few weeks ago Auto Express showed a pic of the MINI Monte looking different to that, and what they showed, they said was an official picture, yet in this weeks mag, it looks different.

That sounds about par for the course; so much of what they have previously published has turned out to be complete fiction that I no longer believe a single word they print

well a top heavy mini that cannot corner is just what we all need
bring on a speedster, the world will buy into a british 2 seater sports car, [not a gp folks]

A nice little ground hugging cute (not lumpy) supercharged job. Thats what we need!

"Built with pride in the USA"? Are the BMW X5's that come out of the US factory any good?

I'm not keen on SUVs, but this Monte idea looks good.

The more I look at it, the less I like it. The front looks like a big sad mouth or a fish's mouth...it takes away the good looks of the Mini!

This is more like it

Now that would be cool, if I could squeeze my large frame into it.

In my opinion, the Monte is a car too far from the MINI idea....
