my first thought about the coupe was that it looked like a mini 'aston martin zagato', mainly given the two strips on the bonnet, grille, and the fastback shape

I think it looks a little bit like a mini Marcos but I do like it but it will depend on the engine that gets put in it

that and if it will actually look like that. i seem to remember that when bmw first relaunched the mini, their concepts looked an awful lot like that...at least in the frontal area...

Yes, I'd be keen on the Marcos remake - especially if it has FWD engine with RWD electric.
