Posted previously or not, it's the first time I've seen the photos and now I think I'm sad.... I never thought I'd dislike a ragtop and I never ever thought I'd dislink anything about any MINI in the world but.... but..... it's icky!

It just doesn't.... it's not right. It doesn't mesh... it doesn't work...

Doubting everything I've ever held true

it's parked next to the BMW X3. That picture came from a very interesting set, even had spy shots of the new 5 and 3 series, if you care ...

I like it! Does it have seats in the back or is it a two seater? Do you have photos with the top down? When is it due to go into production?

My MMA didn't know these spy shots existed until I showed the web site (www.thecarconnection.com) to her today. She seemed pretty excited.

What would be cool is a hard top that comes off! What do you think? Is it feasible?

it's indentical to the current MINI

>>Do you have photos with the top down?

I have some on my site (via autoexpress) here

>>When is it due to go into production?

Some sources say late this year - others say early next.

I'm with Wedge... removable hardtop would be way cool. Less jarring, aesthetically.
