Early new Mini Cooper design photos...Can you say ugly?

[speltzer]

Mmmm...I think these would be gathering dust on dealer lots and include HUGE rebates and incentives! I do like the wheels though!!! :smile: No,

this is NOT the next Mini Cooper design change coming soon in the next

couple of years. Yeaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ugly, yet strangely intriguing...

Dear sweet Lord. Please tell me you're kidding. That sucker's fugly.

I dunno,
I didn't get it until I saw the picture with the classic in the background. From the front it looks a lot like an updated classic Mini with HUGE fender swells. I kind of like the effect. This car looks a lot smaller than ours - maybe it would have caught on....

A lot of people think our MINI is ugly and stunted.

They had pics of that thing in the 'New MINI' book. Glad they evolved from that to the current MINI.

I like it. I love the front Grill, the Tail end treatment neads work. But then again my favorite rear end looks like this.

Sooo glad I got Brutus in 02 and I'll still have him when these come out. Anyway, this one looks like it would be more capable off-road. Just have to Customize the rear-end a little.

Looks like a Suppository on wheels. Lets hope the BMW design group comes up with something better than that

This came out in 1997 to commemorate the 30th Anniversary Monte Carlo victorys. Not to worry.

No warranty on that thing either right? 4 aux front mounted lights voids warranty correct? They will sell that one with 10 yr 100k mi warranty that is automatically viod becase of the 4 lamps Patrick

It seems more in line with a concept car design rather than a production car.
It has no seams for the bonnet- it's one piece. It's squat with too many lights in the front like a spider. If you covered it with webs and added some blue it could be a spiderman mobile.

The proportions seem exagerated and not in balance. Only one front wiper and none in the rear. The fenders are too overdone like they are pumped up. Where's the bumpers?
