I like that a lot. I love my mom's mini cooper, but this is just WOW, if that were in AWD and gained a decent after-market market, you can bet it would be a sick car.

Not what I was expecting. I'm disappointed really. All they did was alter the roof so that the car has no headroom for rear passengers. That's kinda weak. Especially compared to the first sketch of the concept -- I'm still trying to find it.

I was expecting them to build the coupe on the slightly longer clubman chassis and make a really sleek, low mini.

I think literally, the only thing that has been changed is the roof and windows. Looks very much like a normal JWC was taken, the windshield was leaned back, and some chopped windows and roof installed. That's it.

Minus the roof and back glass? LOL! Those are the only things that make it different from a regular Mini.

... which is why I don't like it that much. It's nothing special.
