I think all new 'Minis' should be crushed - can't stand them.

I love classic Mini's, except for the Moke....awful looking thing in it's day and this new design doesn't look great either.
If im not in action, im in traction!

Do you think they’ve ever seen a real one? Cos that looks like a jacked up new mini with the doors missing, rather pathetic really

If you read the last bit of the story, it's unlikely that the production car (if there ever is one) will have open sides, due to safety issues.
It'll end up looking like a dwarf 4x4 off-roader.
Hands up all those who think that this is designed for the US market...

Worst thing is,that it would probably
sell very well.
It would be interesting to see the price
tag on that,considering how much a mini
costs.
I still dont like it though.

Me! Americans do seem to like the mini though because it is "tiny".

I don't know why, but there is a perception that it is better to be higher than all the other traffic, as it makes for better accident
protection. It isn't always true, but this is what people like my brother always say - and he works for a bank, and is extremely conservative.
So, he thinks like most people, in other words.
The car makers are taking advantage of this, and of course you see everyone with an SUV, just to go shopping in - and I don't mean in a place
with regular snow either!

Nothing like the original Moke and Scamp derivatives, doubt if it will attract the sanme cult following, looks a bit like the Jap terios /rav 4 sort
of thing, too sophisticated by far
AAAAH I feek better for that

I liked these first two quotes
Oh, dear.
'Moke-inspired' or 'joke-inspired'...?
That is truly, truly vile. Stop it, MINI.

That is truly awful, like most new Mini designs ....
Bought myself a Tahiti Blue 2000 reg Cooper Sport yesterday, now that is one nice looking car

I quite like the original moke, simple and light, though not a thing of beauty or practicality (in any country where it actually rains)
How is the MINI thing in anyway inspired by it? Nothing like the original - it has a roof and curved panels for goodness sake.
It will have doors when launched as otherwise very few people would buy it - just like the original UK moke. They only made any sense in
Australia/Portugal etc.
