R58 - A speedster with a folding metal roof?

Quoting Gabe from Motoring File (http://motoringfile.com/2007/03/12/t...e-mini-models/)

a reliable source is adamant that MINI will use the R58 designation to refer to a two seat MINI speedster with a folding metal roof.
Are they serious? This could be AWESOME!

Well this turned out to be false. It's cloth. Haha.

One of my oldest and dearest friends was in town this weekend, and I took him by the MINI dealership to show him what I've got on order. He spotted the coupe and said "this would be awesome as a hardtop convertible". Shame they aren't going to have it be one.

Most people who I have shown the Coupe pic to have thought it's a hard top convertible. I guess with the different coloured roof, it looks like a convertible?
