    Well you can tell its a MINI. The bad, I hate the grill. I think in a dark color and black out the chrome it will look better. I can't blame MINI completely they have to comply with a stupid law.
    Its not for me but I may like it in person.

    That justa still looks like crap, but it is quite a bit better than the S...

    Another thing to hate, that I just noticed... Why in the (little stared out 4 letter word) did they move the gas cap to the passenger side! That just chaps my ass! :(

    Hummm, Cooper with the JCW body kit and trimmings, dark color, blacked out, might work. :)

    Or just maybe the S with a Cooper Grill and be done with it. :) :)

    I like the potential of the 2L engine. That could be a win.

    I justa noticed something, instead of the candy corn fuel gauge of the R56 & variants now there are slices of baloney showing the fuel level. Fried baloney! :drool

    At least it will be a better visual representation of the gas tank. Mine doesn't really have a half way point.

    I only hope that the stupid center, thingie (where the speedo once was) can be turned OFF. I also see that there will be two missing toggles, but putting in dummies should not be hard. Otherwise I am liking it.

    Hey Don, look close at the pics, and you can see the grilles are no longer interchangeable. The Cooper grille looks to be a little taller! Like they squatted the S grille down to make room for the scoop.

    Would have been better if they would have put the horizontal bars top to bottom even over the big ugly black hump. :)

    just another 8 years to go before they are cheap enough to buy for rallying! I think some teeth would look nice in the grill. At least it's not as ugly as the new WRX...Subaru you now suck!

    Not a fan of the intercooler grill. Looks like an add on.
