    I had hopes that it would be better...but I think they just ruined the brand.

    As we all rush to judgement keep in mind that these images were taken from very far away with a very long lens at a high angle according to the folks over at Motoring File.

    Try to reserve the vitriol till you see it in person please.

    I like what I see from the side and rear. Reserving judgement on the front view for now.

    It is an odd looking set of photos. Since it was taken with a long lens & cropped to an extreme the proportions are all screwed up. At least I hope they are. I'm not very glad it is looking like that, but will wait for better photos. :fingerscrossed:

    I do not have a big enough front plate to fill this! I wonder if we can get an option on another front grill. :(

    That looks like the Aflac ducks bill.

    I think the new FIAT looks better.

    Honestly looks like it is wearing a mouth guard. It's bothering me, I keep moving my mouth like something stuck in mine.

    That's one ugly car.
    I hope MINI realizes that while they're killing the brand VW nailed it with the look of the 2013 Beetle.
