A natural, logical progression in design for mini. Strange looking backward baseball cap roof though.

Roof is a non-functional styling mess, IMO.

$36K for a mini? Strike

208hp for $36K? Strike Two

Overall design? Strike Three

Three strikes, you're out.

It still amazes me how some people pay over $30,000 for a Mini Cooper. A new 1 Series could be had for that price.
