Don't know about puking, but it would not be my choice of stripes, wheels, etc. The color is fine.

Agree, what in particular makes you want to have such a negative physical reaction?

I don't care much for it either, but I think the Clubman S looks better than the R56.

I like it Dr. Phil. Do I need to have my head checked?

Puke?? Perhaps that corrigated metal is playing tricks w/ your equilibrium. As far as MINIs go, I've seen far,
far worse!!
Try this!!!
But even then, hey, somebody loves it!!!!

Dr. Phil has always been very emotive on TV where he plays a doctor.
Right, gokart - there is truly no accounting for taste!

I'm with Dr. Phil on this one. I've come to like the Clubman (not LOVE it, like it) but this one... not so much. I think it's the side stripe that makes it seem sooooooooo long. Makes it look more like a station wagon, IMO.

It's not so bad. Reminds me of an espresso martini!

I thought that's what every R55 was already...
Gawd gkr -- that's one wretched MINI. Certainly worse than the Clubby in Post #1. But, as you say, she was somebody's baby once...

I also like the Clubman in the first post, remove the side decals/stripes and I certainly would drive it...

I have to say that my vote does go for this last one as being quite unattractive , but I'm sure its owner loves it.
Agreed, Cooldaddy - w/o those side stripes it looks quite good.
