Have you seen a MINI coupe yet?

[Ari]

Suddenly struck me that the stupid baseball cap on backwards no back seats MINI has been out for a while now, and I've not seen one!

Can't be a taste thing, seen plenty of ugly Countrymans, although I guess at least they have something to offer over the standard MINI, whereas the Coupe just seems to give you less in return for looking mildly ridiculous.

Anyhoo, anyone seen one in the wild?

[peterattheboro]

Seen a few and they are just as horrid in real life.

[cuprabob]

Yip, I've seen a few. Not any better looking in the flesh :-)

[vixen1700]

Seen a couple, although one was at Elms BMW in Cambridge about a year ago.

[Jimmy No Hands]

Seen two or three, drove one a few week back at work.

[Horse Pop]

Yes. There's one at the bank round the corner from where I live. I throw up a little in my mouth every time it goes past.

I've seen one parked on a friend's neighbour's driveway. I didn't look great to be honest, not as offensive as I thought it would be just a bit daft to be honest.

[fatboy69]

I have seen a couple of these god awful things. Truly terrible looking car imo.

[Alfanatic]

I've seen a few, but I've seen more of the supersized Minis, don't know what they're called (and don't care.) Both different but similarly effective when measured in units of ugly.

As poor as that thing looks I imagine the Cooper S will be a hoot to drive.

I think the roadster looks fab (If a bit pointless)

[hyperblue]

Yup seen a few, think they look better in real life. Bet they're good to drive.

[vixen1700]

Saw a Roadster the other day, and didn't even realise they existed.

The first I learned of one was when one passed me near the Ribblehead Viaduct, it was covering ground at a fair pace.

It probably will, but presumably no more of a hoot than a normal Cooper S that doesn't look butt ugly?

[YorkshirePudding]

Only one, someone up the road must work for BMW as they keep turning up with different cars.

They had one for a couple of days a few months ago, not seen it since.

I have not seen yet, but looking forward to see in streets of Istanbul.

For the love of God, Why would anyone buy that ugly piece of ste.

[soad]

Saw one, parked behind MINI dealership. If that counts.

[Mastodon2]

I see the same one quite regularly near my work, always being driven aggressively, as if the driver has realised how much of a knob he looks and must defend his tattered dignity by driving like a total bellend.

[Bisonhead]

I have seen a fair few now and had a chance to stare at one and take the styling in for a good few minutes in a car park.

There is just something about that roofline that doesnt make sense. It is hideous, almost like it has been damage repaired.
