And what is up with the stetson hat roof? HATED it on the Clubman, HATE it even more on the R60! Give me a nice smooth roof like on my beloved R50, R53 or R56.

I wanted to love this car. A chance for me to get out of the car hell I am in now (2001 Neon)! I saw potential in the Beachcomber design. Now, I’m extremely dissapointed in the real car!

BMW must stand for “Bavarians Mess-up the World!”

The BMW overlords continue to move MINI in the wrong direction! :(

Here is an idea! Lets take a BMW (preferably Gabe’s 1988 Bimmer) and have every MINI fan smash it with a sledge hammer and ship it back to Munich!

Now that I know I can get the Countryman in manual with the ALL4 and that it looks fantastic, I look forward to becoming an all MINI household. I would like it in the Connaught green with the JCW package. Please make it significantly (low 40's? very well equipped) less than the Audi S4 and you have the sale locked up. Thanks Motoringfile, this is great news!</p> I have an R57 in BRG/Tuscan/English wood waiting at the docks in Southhampton now.
