    Yep, the Coupe looks completely different, nice, thanks for posting, fj

    In your opinion, of course.

    In my opinion, it's one of the most heinous crimes against aesthetics ever perpetrated.

    Wouldn't the world be boring if we all agreed, thanks, but I still think it's a style icon.

    Cheers fj

    In what way? Its a mini with an ugly (in my opinion of course) roof line.
    What else does it have over the other versions I posted?

    I agree these days there seems to be no interesting cars. I grew up in the days of cosworths and they had real presence!
    One of my favourite cars was my rx8. Bloody good fun and the most reliable car I have owned (4years) rear wheel drive was good fun! I moved onto an Audi TT v6 Quattro ( dream car) and it was always in the garage! If I didn't drive a mum mobile now, I'd bite the bullet and go for a TVR Tuscan, and hire a mechanic to be on standby:D
    My husband has an Evo ix now that's a whole new level of fun!
