The Mini gets Minier?
 
The mini coupe. If you had told me of such a thing, I'd scoff at you. However, it's kind of funky. I'd do need a drive in one for sure.

Mini has unveiled details and photos of a Mini Coupe Concept, set to debut at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show. The Coupe builds on the Cooper platform (confusing, isn't it?), but ditches the useless rear seats in favor of a sloping roofline and a coupe's profile.

The Coupe is identical to the Cooper S from the B-pillars forward and under the hood is the 1.6-liter turbocharged heart that we've come to love in the high performance John Cooper Works Mini. Out back the Coupe's new look includes a spoiler edge on the classic floating white roof that is one of the hallmarks of Mini's aesthetic.

Symbioticgenius 08-31-2009 11:22 PM

9krpmrx8 08-31-2009 11:24 PM

Kevo 08-31-2009 11:26 PM

Juansito 08-31-2009 11:26 PM

Wow that looks so much better!

I have been waiting for them to make a car like this for forever. I said it when It came out, if they made a more coup(ish?) one I'd buy it.

Imagine that car in white with the black stripes like in the italian job... that's just sexy.

TopGear8 08-31-2009 11:31 PM

I would love to have one of those as a DD!

^ That side picture kinda reminds me of a TC? :dunno:

RyansRx8 08-31-2009 11:43 PM

Thats pretty cool...I would never buy it cuzz im picky as shit but not bad :)

2tone 08-31-2009 11:49 PM

that thing is awesome!! i've always hated the back seats. i guess they're useful to some, but stupid. i wanted them to basically build the current mini but remove the back seats entirely to create a honda fit-like hatchback...the fun of a mini with a little storage room. this is the next best thing...just make a legitimate coupe!! i'd totally get this a dd, pure win imo

dshiznit1489 09-01-2009 12:09 AM

Hopefully it comes with AWD.

SayNoToPistons 09-01-2009 12:29 AM

Not bad, but still a bitch car.

Alexb 09-01-2009 12:51 AM

I dig it for sure. id never fit in the thing tho but sweet. itd be a hot car for a lil sexy lady

m477 09-01-2009 02:50 PM

Not feeling it, just looks like a normal Mini with a smashed in roof.

And I thought the mini already was a coupe...

shizzlesled 09-01-2009 06:49 PM

Nah the mini is def a hot hatch^

But i dig it, although i highly doubt itll have AWD. Too heavy and expensive

kersh4w 09-02-2009 03:02 PM

shazy 09-02-2009 03:47 PM

rodjonathan 09-02-2009 03:58 PM

ivory8 09-03-2009 05:38 PM

SPHINX144 09-03-2009 05:47 PM

it is cool in the same sense as drinking apple martinis and pina coladas at a guy bar.

XlYesterdaYlX 09-04-2009 11:32 AM
