Chromeline interiior reflections?

The USA Today article mentioned distracting reflections from the chromeline interior. Any real world issues with the chrome, or shall I go ahead and include it in my order?

Too bad they didn't test an "S" with manual tranny. It would have been interesting to see the contrasting comments about the throttle response.

Under Appearance he says, "It looks even cooler than the regular Mini Cooper"... Come again? Has he ever seen a MINI before?

If he is talking about a R56 MINI, yes then I agree with him 100%
