Uncool.

Salute, Giordano.

[Gaz]

Hideously uncool!

[AlfaDrivingFan]

Too big to be called 'mini' and it's pig ugly.... uncool

[mitomatt]

My friends just got one and yuk. Haven't been in it yet though.

I walked past one of these this morning and it is very very wrong on many levels.

I passed one going to work this afternoon and it's, shall we say, rather on the tall side. A total bast4rdisation of the Mini name and just what is going on with the glass behind the c-pillars?

To be honest we could play the "What's going on with the......" game on this thing for a long time. Can I go second with what's going on with the massive **** off indicator repeaters on the wings?

Its a BMW X1 in a fat suit. An uncool car dressed up to look like something thats uncool in the first place!

[Alfafamily]

They know nothing. Countryman models are supposed to have bits of tree stuck on the rear bodywork. Remove the o.

I have the misfortune to drive past a Mini dealer every day on the way to work.

There are several of them lined up in full view of the road.

I think it is one awful looking vehicle.


Seriously uncool.

Seriously uncool........aside from it being as ugly as sin there is nothing that compares to the original Issigonis design

Idiotic. What fool would buy this when they could have a RangeRover Evoque?

[AlfaDrivingFan]

The Germans might be using the name Mini in an ironic way with this car, an attempt at German humour perhaps... there is nothing else funny about it

[ACAPULCO AL]

awful, awful, awful. i don't mind normal minis but i saw one of these out on the road for the first time a couple of weeks ago. at first i didn't realise it was the new countryman - i thought it was some kind of korean/malaysian hallucinogenic design nightmare, but then i realised it was the new mini thing. utterly, utterly awful. way worse in the flesh than pics. but it'll sell in droves to stupid women all over cheshire. dreadful

[divadiva]

Totally horrible...seriously uncool

It will probably replace the Porsche Cayenne Turbo (which you may not know are actually limited to 40mph) as the not-so-yummy mummy weapon of choice.

[David Jarrett]

Insult to the original.

i've just bee n looking over the specs......

1.6 engine only kicking out 120bhp

The 1.4MA does better than that at 135bhp and has 200CC less

[CobolMan]

Twenty odd years ago, 120bhp from 1.6 would have made it a hot-hatch!

[steveisfrowning]

uncool and ugly

The 1.4 MA has a Turbo though, a 1.4 Turbo putting out 135bhp is nothing special.



The 1.6 TS used to put out 120bhp, which considering it is normally aspirated isn't that bad..

[Photodave]

"modern" Minis are uncool. This takes it to a whole new level!
