    It just isn't working for me. I will reserve my final judgement until I see it in person.

    Love the color! Still not sure how I feel about the backwards cap roofline though...

    I think a body colored top would look much better. It would hide the somewhat strange roofline. Just one old farts opinion here.....

    I'm trying to figure out if it's longer than the current Cooper, or is that an optical illusion? :confused5:

    Possibly an illusion as it rides on the same wheelbase. The lower roof-line and different rear treatment may make it look longer.

    I've been thinking the same but I think I read that won't be a factory option. They want the non-body color roof to stand out so the roof is supposed to be a reversal of the hood. If the hood is blue with white stripes the roof is white with blue stripes.

    I'm also in the wait to see more camp...I'd like to see it in this blue color with silver stripes (and of course silver roof with blue stripes) if that's an option.

    I think the roadster convertible where you could lose the top completely will do wonders for the appearance.

    From what I've read you can get a body colored roof in black/black but that's it. I personally love the design and can't wait until the configurator is available to order one.
