This looks so futuristic. I have pretty much no comment, haha, but in 60 years or so this might be the "thing"...

Actually, considering the roof line and grill, it's not a far cry from this Mini that was out in 2000.

I like it!

What is it? Custom?

Wouldn't it be cool if it was a targa removable roof?

Come on. You have to be joking. This car expires? Jay Leno will never buy it. Except that, I like it.

That THING at the top of the page looks like Santa Clause went to BMW and had them build a sleigh!
As to the second concept, are you kidding me? It looks more like a
Bug-eyed sprite than a MINI...
and if you don't know what a bug-eyed sprite is...look it up!
