3rd Gen F56 Cooper S Most liked posts in thread: Oh lord... Did you see the F54 debut pics?

I like it.

 

Compared to the Clubman this is 10X better!

 

I kinda like it. If I still had some small kids in the mix, I'd consider it.

 

They are going to have 3 cars/vehicles that are competing for the same market of people. The Clubman came out to have alittle more room for families!! remember that. Now you have the Paceman and I'm not sure who they are really marketed towards and those people don't either as I don't think it is selling well. Now you come out with the 4 door MINI for the FAMILY again. Something has to go or none of the 3 are going to sell well. Maybe this is to weed out which one or two doesn't sell. Plus I wish they'd get away from trying to make all of them look "kinda" alike just bigger ( BMW ) and go ahead and give them different front ends. Why have every car in your line up have the same front end. I know I know you say that BMW does it but think about it. From the 2 car on up they all are the same basic shape just get bigger/longer and sleeker. Once you get past the first few 2,3,4, they start losing their "lines" and it's more of a luxury car. Do you think Chevy could get away with the same front end on the, Malibu, Corvette, Camaro, Volt, trucks, etc... Mazda tried it with the smiley face front end and now is getting away from it..

 

I don't think it is any worse than the F56. The new Clubman is going to grow a lot so this is sort of the "real" replacement for it. I agree it will sell very well. 4 doors with out the weight Countryman

 

Fixed that for you. :ihih:

I hope it replaces the clubVan.:ihih:

 

Bet it outweighs the CM when all is said and done...

 

Just having different tastes and needs than yours doesn't make the average consumer stupid. My 89-year-old father-in-law, for example, doesn't need a JCW Convertible - but his Honda Accord suits him just fine.

 

I think it looks more balanced than the F56. The extra 6 inches at the back kind of complete the car and fixes much of what I didn't care for about the hatchback.

I'm more inclined to get a roadster or coupe for my next MINI, but this doesn't bother me. It might be more suitable for The Girl™ than me, but that's part of market diversity.

 

It's Meh, not special really in anyway. Could be a for Focus or a Honda or Mazda.
It not WOW look a MINI!

BMW X .5 ?

 

My wife just ordered one...Midnight Black to CAMO the bumper into the car...our 2011 CM ALL4 will be gone in a couple of weeks.

My wife is going to keep it stock...I told her the only change is to do the RSB.
