Not bad - looks better with the top down.

Still not sure about it....

Looks better than I thought it would.
Still wouldn't buy one.
Now how about a Traveler?

It looks great, but whereas the regular Cooper and Cooper S models look both cute and sporty, the Cabrio just comes across as looking cute. But if what Auto Express says about the facelift is true, then the Cabrio will also have the new facelift on it when it is released, which may change it's character ( and that of the Cooper and Cooper S) somewhat.

It's not a facelift, as I've reported here: http://www.mini2.com/news/news186.html it's not going to be dramatic at all. In fact, the S will remain pretty much identicle to the untrained eye. Inside the cars will also not be MUCH different. Trust me.

It'll be interesting to see the actual performance figures - the extra weight on a 3 series convertible adds 0.4 secs 0-62 on the 330.
