    Love the MINI Superleggera concept? You're not alone. We're fans here at MotoringFile, and for obvious reasons. The concept is an exciting view of what else a MINI can be when it reaches beyond its hatch roots

    Well, duh! :cornut:

    But I don't know how I'm going to fit my chrome luggage rack on the trunk with that fin.

    I really do like the lines of this car, it definitely has a British sports car look to it. IMO the interior sets the whole car off, classic, one of the nicest I have seen in a long time, but $40K? I couldn't justify $42k on a Clubbie, even though it was fully loaded, I find it even harder on a two seater. Maybe it’s the MINI logo that is making it hard for me. It would seem normal if it had a BMW or Porsche logo attached to it. I guess I will have to wait and see why this little car is going to be worth the asking price. Maybe they will make it worth looking into, let’s hope.

    Well, duh! There's room for two chrome luggage racks - one on each side of the fin! :Thumbsup:

    They won't build it.... At $40,000 + $10,000 in package options you will be able to buy a Porsche Boxster....

    Hell, for what I have in my Mini, I could have bought a Boxster or Cayman S. But I didn't.
