Mini Superheroes to the Rescue?

From Automobile Magazine.....

•The MiniMini — not unlike the Rocketman concept (pictured) we’ve previously seen
•The Coolbox — a wonderfully hip four-door sedan that would move the brand into new territory
•The Roomba — a small minivan
•The Superleggera — an elitist roadster with a hybrid powertrain, a concept version we’ve seen before
•The Traveller — a practical yet compact crossover that would revive a classic Mini moniker

I'm in for a MiniMini assuming it's smaller than my R56.

The way the door opens is pretty interesting.

No thank you!! Distinctive as a bag of tofu. BMW needs to quit calling them MINIs and just expand the BMW line if that's what they're after. Nothing lasts for ever. That green thing smack of a '70 240Z only without the nose overhang.
