For those that haven't seen it already, I've just spotted this on MotoringFile - Pre-Production MINI Coupé Spied

I still am not sure on that weird roof line

It is a bit strange, but I guess it's the same as the Countryman's roofline really, with the helmet design - it just looks larger on the coupe!

Yeah it kinda is. But for the money they will want for that, I think i would be going else were!

Think that it needs to be abit lower?

Still think MINI are pushing it

The second they announce this Im abandoning the brand!

I'm not overly sure about the point of the coupé. I can understand the clubby and countryman but not so much this.

And the one above is just gross!

like the coluor about all i like

Not a fan of the Coupe. I don't quite understand what it is that the hatch isn't already? I mean I already treat my hatch as a 2 seater pretty much anyway, and I'm unsure of the Coupe's roofline too.

The forthcoming MINI coupe may be called the MINI Broadspeed Coupe. Autocar sources suggested a while back that the Broadspeed Coupe name was being evaluated by MINI and BMW, in homage to the Broadspeed racing team that manufactured the 1966 Broadspeed GT Coupe.

My point exactly Phil!

Although I can see the resemblance in the above post, which at least gives it a little historical context now.

Saw the soft top version somewhere, will try and post. Even though I'm not a convertible fan I preferred it to the coupé.

Now that looks great! Can't see much Market for the convertible against that though.

The Roadster is also now on MotoringFile - Pre-Production MINI Roadster Spied

Historically this was the closest BMC ever got to making a 2 seater Mini-based Roadster car and now resides at the Heritage Collection at Gaydon:
http://www.aronline.co.uk/sportsado34f.htm

"Active between 1960 and 1964, ADO34 was a project to develop a Mini-based roadster, which would logically have replaced the MG Midget and Austin-Healey Sprite. Different versions were put forward by Austin at Longbridge and MG at Abingdon, while a coupé version (ADO35) was also developed, along with Austin-Healey versions of each car (ADO36)."

I didn't like the coupé at first, but really want one now The roof looks odd in the spy shots as it has been disguised with black tape marking out a fake shape over the yellow/black bits. Confused me at first!

not to sure about this one, looks abit boxy, what are everyones thoughts on the countreyman

I love the countryman, plan on that being the next car!

I see it has a purpose though, as has been said the hatch is pretty much a 2 seater anyway!

I like the Countryman as well...........

Great drive and I think a pretty good all round car

How about this Matt black Countryman?

I have seen the Coupe and it looks awesome! I hate people in the back of my car and could do with the extra bootspace perfect for me, but understand if its not practicle for other people, i'm just saying wait untill you see a nice works in the flesh

Oh yeh the countryman looks good in matt black
