    I didn't say that, but the image in my head of you blowing one up is … um … interesting. :eek6:

    Hey at least the accessory vendors will be happy as they will be able to invent a new accessory - the non-see-through summer bra to cover up front of the F56.

    Anyone stealing this idea must agree to give me a 10% royalty payment.....

    I can live with some of the changes, but I'm really disappointed at the 0.7-inch loss of room for the Upholstered Interior Storage Compartment. (I think MINI calls it a rear seat.) :nonod:

    I am sure we will see eyelashes at the Dragon and maybe someone change the color of the Halos to be an Eye shadow color.

    Maybe even add lipstick around HUGE grill area and a BOZO nose.

    Does anyone else think that those lower vents look like buck teeth?

    Mini did not even include heads on the drivers for the F56, that explains a lot. :ihih::lol:

    i remember seeing an article where they say the Cooper S F56 has more overhang now that a BMW 135i....pretty much sums up what i plan to buy next after my Paceman...they want to try and BMWify the mini fully...then ill buy a damn BMW... 4 Series M here i come

    this is the byproduct of retarded crash safety laws and lighting standards

    Yeah, the MINI does have more overhang than a 135i, but it's slightly (though not completely, it's still has validity) disingenuous since they are different chassis; a better comparison would be between the F56 and the 2 series--I'd be interested if there's more overhang between those two since they share the same platform.

    I also wish they'd put an outline of the R53 in the diagram of the headless, armless mutant passengers from Uranus.

    Ya know, the more I look at that new MINI model...
    The more I can't stand it. :frown2:

    I guess they're really trying to capture the retro look with the redesign of the grille, but the front is just far too busy for my liking.

    Nope, it needs a sprintex, something that will take care of it once and for all.

    Obviously BMW/MINI went this alone without input from a "focus group" for the "S" bumper... It's almost like they finished the Justa bumper and did just fine by the way.... Then they wanted to step it up a notch.... But added weird design queues.... I get the shape of the large grill going back to the Clasic.... How it made it past final approval..... Crazy.... Someone needs to be smacked upside their head....

    And resorting to the abundance of stickers harks back to the days of the Mustang II..... I don't recall another manufacturer today that's resorting to these tactics to the degree that MINI is.... Tacky Tacky Tacky....

    Way too many scarfs and skinny jeans being worn by the guys in the design department....

    But why the carp lips????

    Much disappoint......
