It's beautiful in every way! Unlike the current crop of Minis at the dealership.

I really love it! I so hope this one makes it to production, with hopefully a design very close to the concept.

It's a Miniata!

That said, it doesn't look bad at all. 185+ HP and a few little tweaks and it'd be a pretty cool car.

not bad. i like the front end more than the new f56. don't like the tail lights. do like the seat belts. mini needs to put something out with some real horse power 300+ and it would sell no matter how ugly.

change those ugly tail lights, I swear they always mess one thing up during the build of these concepts. At least it is only a concept for now. But I can't wait to drive one when it does come out! This thing will sell!

Show of hands here, be honest, how many of us did not realize at first this concept is projected to be an all electric drivetrain. I suspect similar to the BMW i3. I was so caught up in the looks of the car, it wasn't until a day later I realized it's a plug-in I love 90% of the styling but someone else hit the nail on the head by referring to a T-Bird in the front end. I thin horizontal chrome accent across the grill, similar to the early Jags, would have balanced the sculpted body much better! Mini, please put a petro option in this car! It will need the burble of a throaty exhaust to complete the package!

Yea, fins! I wish it had 2 or 3 of them.
If I were king, all cars would be required to have fins.

An electric car isn't necessarily a bad thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pU9qYfXltqEily

I absolutely love it. Please, BMW, bring this car to market. All-wheel-drive, all-electric, pretty please.
