MotoringFile The First Official Look at the 2014 MINI

Here's my first official comment, thanks to someone forgetting how to follow official embargo instructions: Yuk - I still think it looks cluttered and kind of junky. :frown2:

 

Huh....
Rumors of Chili Red (CR) possibly being replaced by Thai Pepper (TP)..... Heh Heh Heh

 

My first impression. I like it.(Roadster still gets my best ever vote)

 

Not bad at all. With the wind screen having more rake, the car looks a bit more streamlined, without lousing the MINI look.

Looks like there are two attachment points or the tow hook in the rear.

 

Is this any better? I just thought other car company could do the whole front grill thing MINI could do it too.

 

That's way too big now! They just need to color code that ghastly black bar in front...

 

That think looks like a basking shark. :frown2:

 

I like....

 

I like that grill much better. Now let's get rid of that shocked expression like a fish on a hook.

 

^^^^^^ LMAO.

 

I thought it looks more like the original too. The grill is the same size I just filled it in and added the justa bumper with the brake ducts.

This would be relatively easy for the after market. Changing the shocked expression not so much.

 

Nice photo-shop job, just not digging it. What gets me is how long the nose has grown.

 

Better aero and ped safety.

 

Why would one buy a new F56 MINI Vs and older Audi A3 hatch? Looks better, runs better top quality fit and finish and Audi knows how to make an AWD verison if you want a Quatro.

 

Around here, the only pedestrians I see are deer and that longer nose is not going to help at all. :lol::lol:

I would like to see a return to the good old metal bumper of days gone by. The kind you could actually hit something with and not require a tip to the body shop.
