L.A. Auto Show: MINI Canyon Carver Concept
Disclaimer: The image below was an entry by BMW designworks for the L.A. Auto Show design competition to design the ultimate car for Los Angeles. This is not an official concept for the next MINI.



Personally, I love the "classic" and rally design element. Keep hope alive for MINI to pull off something great for MINI Ver 2.0

I hope you mean MINI Mk.2 .... because quite frankly, the MINI does NOT NEED a version 2.

Just like the Mini didnt need a version 2. (1275GT - But thats another story.)

Looks like the AC Schnitzer/New Audi look they're going for.

Could someone crop and enlarge the little red one on the lower-left because that one looks like it has all the styling ques that have been rumored for the next-gen 2007 Mini.

I like the red one too.But I don't like those hard sharp lines on the others.A MINI should have soft curves,thats the look,classic or new IMO.
