Coupe

I just saw the 2012 Coupe in person...I don't like it...I sat in it...I can't see...

The new slanted window just gets in the way...it's made for the wife.

The Coupe is currently at Morristown MINI for today and tomorrow...then I believe it's heading to MINI of Monmouth.

MO' Town will have another Coupe this weekend...so check it out if you are curious.

Yep, it will be at MINI of Momouth sometime today, just got off the phone with them. They'll have it for a few days. Lunchtime roadtrip!

I'm not a fan of it as well, the top still looks like a toupee to me. I would have to actually drive it to convince me to like it more than I do now.

I also saw it yesterday. I like my Hatch better. Now, once we get the SD, i'll be in for a trade, lol (so, not anytime soon, haha!)

i wondered about visibility with that rakish windshield - even my hatch has poor visibility in the up direction for example when you are approaching a traffic signal.

That is what "Light-in-sight" is for.
