it even has a built in tea fridge that replaces the rear driver-side window. so if you get pulled over you can have a spot of tea with your ticket :-)

Maybe my eyes deceive me, but I don't see any evidence of an openable bonnet on this concept car, leading me to wonder what exactly the purpose of the bonnet scoop is! LOL! And imagine having to change a bulb for any of the lights!

The roofline is icky: it makes the concept MINI look like a bulbous hi-top basketball shoe.
