I can't make it. Was in the mountins this weekend and hit a pipe that put a hole in the transmision pan. Had it towed to Hendrick, so no mini for several days.
Have fun .

I saw that Coupe on Friday at the dealer, it looks cool. I only got to look in thru the windows but it looked nice on the inside and looks really cool from the outside. I got to work tomorrow so those of you that go enjoy it.

We all placed our orders last night.

It is a sweet car, I didn't hear anybody say that they didn't like it. I think the pop up rear spoiler is the only questionable design feature.

Thanks great pizza & veggies Hendrick. I like the rear spoiler all tho I think it should have been bigger and that overhang eliminated on the roof. Just going to have to wait and see what the colors are. Would like a light Blue and paint the bumpers and wheel wells and rocker panels and roof Orange or Gold? Just thinking of it in my head.

Better in your head than other parts of your anatomy.

Did anyone get to sit in the Coupe? How does the interior size compare to the regular Hatch interior? I'm 6'3" and had no issues fitting in my 04 Cooper S...I'm just concerned I won't fit in the coupe.

Does anyone have any pics of the Coupe from last night???

Plenty of room, I'm 6'5 and had no issues. With the seat all the way back it won't recline quite as far as they do in the hatch but that wasn't a problem. It does feel smaller because of the lower roof line, that bothers some people but not me.
