Saw the new Mini Coupe today....

[IrrElephant]

And loved it. Looks loads better than the standard MINI and a gazillion times nicer than the Maxi, sorry 'Countryman'

I'm not normally a fan of the Mini but the coupe looks really nice. Was grey with a black roof and dark grey wheels, very subtle and cool.

Anyone else seen one?

Annoyingly, I like it. From the pictures when it was first unveiled I thought it was ridiculous, but the dealer down the road has a black one with a red roof and actually it's the nicest Mini by a long way.

It looks much better in the flesh than in pictures

I like the mini, don't like the clubman and hate the big 'un. I didn't want to like a coupe mini, but it does look good. Although from £24k.! (works)

I'm ashamed to admit that I'm not as revolted by them as I wanted to be either.

Still wouldn't have one, JCW spec normal job for me, ta

We saw a few on the back of a trailer, look much better in life... don't want to like it though

Yes, many a times near dealership.
If i said i liked it, would be telling a lie.

I wonder how many they'll shift compared to regular Minis? The problem with it for me as a petrol head is that it's a two-seater (pitting it against more focussed machines) and in JCW trim is expensive. I know you can't compare new with 'previously enjoyed', but from my perspective you'd have to be completely nuts to buy one of these over a used Cayman or 370Z, for instance.
