Spotted this beauty at Lauderdale MINI two weeks ago.
Attachment 158883 And this one today at Orlando MINI... Attachment 158884 Attachment 158885 Attachment 158886 Attachment 158887 Attachment 158888 Attachment 158889 Attachment 158890 Very nice car! The only thing I regret is the new power window switches' design, they look cheap. The new switches VS classic ones Also noticed that rear seat legroom space seems a little smaller compared to Countryman. Other than that, awesome looking MINI! |

IMO this is the best looking MINI yet along with the JCW Hardtop. The lines on these models are beautiful. |
Ditto. Looks certainly are for the beholder to determine. Traded my 2009 Hardtop Turbo S for a 2011 Countryman S. Am now awaiting the Paceman S All 4. The lines on the Paceman, the sloping roof and the new look rear is where it's at for me.
Test drive revealed a tighter suspension and better handling. |

I see where the Paceman was named one of the 7 ugliest cars at the NY Autoshow. What?
|
I was at the NY Auto Show today. The Mini exhibit was mobbed with folks absolutely fawning over the Paceman and Countryman. Countryman was deemed practical, while the Pacemen is viewed a sportier Countryman, and more economical than the Range Rover Evoque. The Coupe got the most comments about whether it was another kind of Mini quirky or a Mini performance sports car. Of course there was also a sizeable group oohing and aahing over the legacy models as well, with the soccer Mom's eyeing the Clubman.
Most Mini enthusiasts seem to e split along the lines of what's been talked about on White Roof Radio. Mini would like to keep its legacy look, but is both moving with the market and leading the market. Hence, the Countryman, Paceman, Coupe and its planned 2 litre engine that will require another design departure from its legacy line. Apparently sales are off the chain, though down slightly during the past winter months. The consensus was that some legacy fans may be disaffected, kind of like folks who still want to drive their Dad's Cadillac, but most folks will likely evolve with how Mini adapts its vision to the future. Exciting times for sure, cause the Paceman is hot, and likely a sign of things to come... |

The new era of MINI is all about design statement. What about this?... Would be nice I think... Attachment 158847 Attachment 158848 Attachment 158849 Attachment 158850 |
I concur - truly awful. Not as bad as the Countryman, but still awful. I'd buy a smaller Mini in a heartbeat (the Rocketman for example) . . but bigger and bigger? I don't think so.

Why is mini still doing the stupid plastic wheel arches? Those damn things just fade after a couple of years and look like crap >:(
I hate that type of plastic. |

Second that. What happened to the Rocketman? I've said it before but why is the "MINI" evolution going in the direction of super sizing? I'd buy a smaller MINI in a heartbeat. If the big, chubby countryman, and the big, aggressive paceman, keep BMW's MINI group profitable and able to keep making the small ones too, then I'm all for it! Sent from my iPad using NAMotoring |

Sent from my iPad using NAMotoring BMW MINI attracted a quirky group of followers with the original (the original remake I should say), but the brand feels gentrified now in a way. No hard feelings and no judgments on anyone's consumer tastes or aesthetics, by the way. I am personally just not feeling the new direction in terms of style, size, or rationale. |

I hate that type of plastic. For a minute I considered removing mine, but would take a lot of body work to make it look right. |

Agreed.
For a minute I considered removing mine, but would take a lot of body work to make it look right. I still think they are an important part of the MINI design. |

I think we may have missed one or two color combos in this thread.

Love the first two! which webpage are you using to customize Paceman JCW? |
They were made using the MINI UK configurator.

So do you people have some reason then for visiting a Paceman forum? I'm here because I happen to like the Paceman and could likely be buying one soon, and I can assure you the last thing I want to read about is how ugly a few of you think it is. But thank you so much for that insightful opinion.
