2nd Gen Coupe Most liked posts in thread: Sat in A Coupe Today

What's a behind you makes a no difference! :cornut:

 

Heck, I add 20 lbs to my R56 everytime I leave a MoM breakfast just in donuts alone.

The one on the left. For me its about design uniqueness. A MINI looks like a MINI whether its a Hatch, Cabrio, Clubman, or Countryman. The Coupe with its baseball cab continues that uniqueness . The one on the right looks like other brands...just like Honda, Nissan, KIA, Mazda, and even Mercedes look alike.

 

No doubt a car with a hat is definitely unique, but...

 

Not sure what the point of this discussion is... The car is what it is and unless you are planning to do a major structural rework of the roof, it ain't changin'.

I like them both (nice work, Farkus).

All of the current MINI's are uniquely MINI, in that when you look at them, there is not even a little doubt who the manufacturer is. Not sure where the limited run comment is coming from, as I am sure this thing will fly off the shelves, just like all the others do. It has already proven to be a competitive race car, in an endurance race nonetheless, which makes it even more desirable.

 

:confused5: huh?

 

+1 :confused5:

 

Good review, my question is...given a choice, would you consider purchase of the one on the right or the one on the left?

 

Oh man, never seen it presented that way before, but the one on the right looks incredible, kind of a Porsche front, Nissan 370Z rear, and that rear spoiler...It doesn't look like a true blue Mini, but man, that is a seriously tempting look...

I never liked the baseball cap look, it looks so contrived, although I suppose it's functional.

 

I don't care for the coupe, but the one on the right could change my mind. I like that.

Left...i sat in the coupe as well...I LOVE it!!! the profile is what makes it for me.

This will be my next MINI

 

If only...the one on the right!

I am happy to hear the opinions that the coupe looks good in person. Sometimes shapes do get better in person with 3d versus the lack of depth in print 2d form.

 

Nice... The one on the left! As Jeremy would say, the one on the right looks like the "coxster" and that's the last thing we want a MINI to look like.... Just sayin....

Hope MINI of Momouth gets one to check out soon!

 

Local dealer is supposed to have one this weekend.. I was hoping it would be the JCW version with all the paint match stuff..

 

Ditto. I do like the one on the right though. Kinda Boxster-Audi TT-ish. Like that one.

 

Thank you sir it was those or my chrome onitsukas.

 

I too like the one on the right, but it reminds me of the first gen Honda CRX. I think when I see a coupe in one color it will look better to me.

 

Well said.
