Yup, too much white vinyl (or leather, which it better be for the price) for my liking. What's wrong with brown or black? Other than that it looks okay.

Well , if you're going to reinvent a car that hasn't been made for almost 10 years you aren't going to make it look common now are you , it will have to stand out from the crowd ...

Well, I'm looking at it from two angles. One as a father of two kids who can turn the Volvo into a mobile rubbish bin within 10 minutes. Secondly as someone who feels that the Mini should trade on its heritage, as a classic english motor and not some pimped Honda, which is what this seems to want to be. I wouldn't be surprised if the options list includes blue neons, two 12" subs and a massive bean can exhaust.

It may reflect their target market very well, although for 25 grand, I think it looks gaudy and try-hard, but each to their own.

;)

Well remember the people it's aimed at , for 25K you get ultimate bragging rights about your mini being newer than almost anyone elses .
