BMW knows how to get people frothing at the mouth, then they also know how to make you dry mouthed - $$$$$$$ that is the question what will it cost I suspect $30,000 on AVERAGE!
It is sweat, looks better than the current cabrio, and is a two seater - any trunk space?

If the space behind the seats is where the top stows, then there should be a nice amount of trunk space.
My concern is where they'll price it. I'm guessing it'll have the JCW-tuned engine, so it'll probably be the most expensive Mini.
I'd love to get my soon-to-be wife a ragtop Mini. Which model will depend on where this one lands, price-wise.

Betting this is only made as an S and JCW (would make sense) with a base of $30k. Looks nice but I think it's going to have some issues with cost.
So would this slot in above the regular convertible or below (guessing above) If that's the case you are looking at a close to $40k for a JCW Roadster.
Would be really fun but $10k too much.

The white interior looks gangster as hell but your right in a roadster it would totally get dirty really fast but in the coupe of man I think I peed a lil. Either one will work for me but cost will be a big deal. I also like the gauges they changed some stuff up that doesn't look all up in your face like the gas gauge and all the warning lights. Also I am not sure what gauge is next to the tach but it looks like it might be digital cause it only look illuminate when everything else was on, which is a great idea. Be it the Coup or the Roadster MINI is going in the right direction. But hope they don't forget their roots and stop making the Hatchback. One more thing maybe they can do a concept of the Clubman as a pickup version. Why not they are doing all kinda of other cars.

These cars look hot!!! I wish I could afford a third MINI without giving up my other two, although I don't think I would need 2 HT's and a 2-seater. we'll see.
That better not be an Openometer!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
EDIT: Just saw this:

EDIT: Just saw this:
The MINI Roadster Concept comes with a multi-functional display in the cockpit enabling the driver to choose the information presented. Placed to the left of the rev counter, this display serves among other things to inform the driver exactly down to the last minute how long he has been driving with the roof down, thus providing the same function as the Always Open Timer already featured on the MINI Convertible today

The speedster is mini's name for their concept 'roadster' which would be a type of car (like sedan, wagon, etc). And yes, they are convertable equivelants of the coupe.
I wish they would release the coupe(ster) in different colors. The gold roof kinda kills it for me...
This would be a nice complement to my 07 R56. Plan is for an R57 for the wife, so this would be a nice indulgence. 
After looking at the MF pictures a number of times, it looks well done. I would like that behind seat stress bar for my R56.
