    I agree about the profile with the diminishing side glass. It gives a less box look without taking too far. I also agree about all the chrome, but we always black that out anyway, so no problem. :D

    I love the new mechanicals, but I'm not too thrilled with the styling details – especially the lumpy front end, the Liberace chrome package and the taillights so large they look Photoshopped on. :frown2:

    Fortunately, my next MINI will be the 2015 300-hp JCW hardtop, so there's plenty of time for a mid-cycle refresh on the body. :lol:

    The headlights and taillights are not proportional to the rest of the body.

    Mechanicals sound promising.

    Not sure how I feel overall about the car. Liking my R56 more and more.

    Thanks MINI...

    I couldn't sleep last night because, I kept seeing that front end picture coming at me with the grille painted red, and the big stupid eyelashes! :(

    This is what modifying a MINI is coming down to...

    I think the lights are so big to make the bigger car look smaller.
    I could live with the back but that front bumper has to go.

    The good news is MINI has a new exterior designer. Maybe it will get a face lift by the time the convertible comes out.

    "Let's design a car to reach a group of buyers we're not currently reaching." What's so hard to understand about that? :confused5:

    It's not a car I want - I don't even like the fact that JCW parts are available for anything but the hardtop - but BMW is in business to make money and is going after a segment that wants/needs a larger car.

    The AllWheel CountryFail is just an BMW X3, too big and not MINI. :p

    The Paceman looks ok and would be FUN lowered with AllWheel. :devil:
