I didn't know mini's could get smaller? Now I'm going to have to lose weight, damn it.

I like the way the car lights up in the beginning of the video.
Concept or not, those are some strange tail lights.

Two more videos at the bottom of the article. This car is too cool!

I saw this somewhere else, too. For me, it's just not doing it. I know it's just a concept that some of the design features may be used later, but the idea of lights around everthing (the tailpipe?) doesn't excite me. It will be interesting to see if anything makes it into production.

is it just me or the front has a resemblance to Pikachu from Pokemon???

I know the lights are supposed to make it look like a space ship cockpit, but if it is able to change colors and flash... hello seizures !!!

Having said that I really like it. the doors are awesome. i wish they had the countryman hatch like the one on it.

I think it's pretty cool, of course it's a concept and way over the top, but isn't that the point of a concept car? To me a concept car is something a 9yo kid would dream up, all imagination and impracticality but really fun. Some of the features may end up on a production car at some point, but for now it's just a "what if" kind of thing.
Personally I want the lit up UJ outline on my sunroof now!

Why was this not just posted in the other active thread about the Rocketman? No need to have 16 threads about one subject.
