Some spy pictures of the new mini cabriolet.
Taken from www.autoexpress.co.uk under news. |
They are actually 09's. The 08 will still be the R52
|
The new Mini Clubman is an interesting concept.

Here is the new color for 2008 Silver White on the SDWK. I like the color! :thumbsup: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y20...erwhiteA60.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y20.../MINI/a602.jpg |
Silver white
It is a beautiful color, but I would order pepper white and spend the money saved on LSD.
My 03 MCS was $22,564. I balk at paying $10k more for a MCSc sidewalk. The configurator shows it to be $30k+ with just Sidewalk and LSD Ann |

All it is, is Sparkiling Silver. In all press releases it is now mentioned as SS. The Silver White was a mistake, and has since been taken back by MINI.

There is a new color for the 2008 Convertible with Sidewalk... White Silver. It is a metallic pearl color, very nice from the color sample I have seen.

Saw pics of the '09 in Car and Driver. Top was down,looks like the top sits lower than before but at the expense of even less back seat room. The bad, the stupid roll bars in the back look even higher than they were. Europe regulations striking again?

Ah- Silver and White. :wink:

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...1&d=1185650887 Look at the back window in the picture... notice head rests and no roll bars :nod: |
I've been a proponent of the "no/low roll bar" theory based on this and other photos - though now when I look at this pic, if you look along the middle top of the rear window, there appears to be SOMETHING across there... another possibility is that they actually RAISED the rollbar structure UP, independent of the headrests, so it clears the rear window and provides more of an open view through the rearview with the topdown... if so, that would put the bar about the height of the shroud in the other top-down pics of the mules. I hope this isn't what they did... because it's gonna be even uglier IMHO... but from the top-up photos, that looks like a possibility...

That's the point I was trying to make in the other thread. There are rumors about MINI developing a pop-up rollbar, but I think this rollbar design opens enough of the rear view that they won't take it to the next level.

Yeah - I wasn't seeing the part of what could be the higher roll bar in the top-up photos before... still not sure that's what I'm seeing there... but possible... So I think you're less crazy now. :lol::wink: |
I hope they dont use a stupid roll bar..I hate those...it will look tacky and reminiscent of the old VW Cabrio or a PT Cruiser Convertible.
The current MINI Cabrio's roll bars are at least somewhat sporty looking.. I'm hoping they have a pop up mechanism..they really should. Less expensive convertibles do.. |

It just occurred to me that if they do plan a popup rollbar for '09, they WILL run a decoy bar when the top is down, to avoid hurting sales of the 2008 model. There's some hope...

I hope so... I really want an 09 JCW cabrio :)

What's with the machine guns sticking out of the rear bumper corners? Is this car going to be in the next 007 movie?
|
:lol: they're there to keep the photographers away
