    If I'm reading this right the artist who made these renderings is no longer even associated with the company. Just one man's shot at how he might design it I suppose.

    Reading the description, the idea itself isn't bad at all. The actual design? We'll see.....

    I agree Steve, time will tell. It said the new one would come in below the MINI One. Not sure what that means, other then zero frills, like MINI Connected, USB ports, hands free calling and such. :confused5:

    More Citroen content I guess. This time wheel hubs from a 2CV.

    :biggrin5:proportionally, it's the best thing since the R50/53...

    Details needs sorting out...although I think the rear graphics are starting to work...

    Anything "smaller" is a good direction for a brand named MINI...DUH! When I roll up next to the latest gen whatever Mini, I feel like I'm next to an SUV lol...

    Not that I dig 3 lugs but my most awesome Le Car had them :biggrin5:

    They said the same thing about the 500 when it was leaked out...I'm sure it'll be a big hit...with a new generation of followers...
