Looks like the F56 and Dave.0 have something in common...a face only a mother could love!

 

Every MINI looks better ALL BLACK:biggrin5:

 

Have to agree about the front. It's the most offensive change. It's almost like there are new crash structure laws that had to be met and this was the result. I love my R56 even more now.

 

The vast majority of the public will recognize it as a MINI and not even notice that it's a new model.

 

LOL, you people crack me up. If they had made it almost an exact copy of the R53, you all would still have found something to complain about. :lol:

It is going to get lonely around here in a few years, but MOTD won't be as crowded.

Still nothing looks as good or runs as well as an R53.

 

I hope this mockup is off. The taillights are way too large, and the front overhang doesn't work.

The headlights are a definite improvement, but it looks like they slapped on 2 or more inches to the length of the car between the headlights, giving it a definite snout, making the headlight look like they're halfway between the windshield and front bumper, instead of out on the corners.

The good news is the F56 makes the R56 somewhat palatable. Somewhat.

The F56 will be "affectionately" known as the "Anteater" variant.

 

There's enough overhang there for a Tiki bar and a decent sized plasma screen, so there's a reasonable place to start.

 

Well at least it looks better than those goofy "spy shots".

 

Still ugly as it was before very disappointed. Maybe it looks better in person but as of right now its ugly :banghead:

 

Too much weirdness going on with the front bumper......

I'm thinking someone will come up with vinyl applique to fill in those strange scroll indents around the fog lights.... Might go well with the stick on headlight eyelashes.....

Will look kinda like this....

 

I think it looks alright. But I could never drive a car with the gas cap on the right side of the car! Yuck!rrr:

Dave

 

Nope bc the r53 is amazing and theres nothing wrong with it

 

Still ugly as Heck! Not sure what else I can say...

 

Being an optimist...maybe the large grille and extended nose are designed to fit an enormous intercooler!

 

Nope, it's just there to do less damage to fat Europeans.

 

Just be thankful that they didn't give the design job to the same crew who did the Fiat.

 

You mean they didn't?

 

^^^ ha ha ... On second thought, maybe you're right.

 

It is really the best marketing plan MINI ever came up with. The 2014 will look nothing like that, but these sneak peeks will make you all buy up the R56 cars and they won't have a backlog. :lol:

I like the changes because that means the Dave O. might actually leave.
