I like the idea of making it look "chopped" like Mini's of old, but that roof just looks like a stupid hat!

For a minute I was going to reply, no I'm thinking as well. But then I am alone right now, and maybe you are, so I decided against posting it.

Anyway, to the picture. What is it?

It's the new MINI Coupe' - hitting a road near you soon . . . if anyone is so tasteless as to buy one that is.

No, that's a picture made by a little kid cutting bits out of car magazines and using pritt stick to make a car. Let's see if we can figure out where the bits came from?

OK, I'll start with the roof. It's a hardtop from an MGF.

Looks like they've taken inspiration from the Citroën DS3 (which I think is a cool car) http://www.ds3.citroen.com/uk/

That is what I was thinking too.... do like the DS3 but that Mini just doesn't quite work, does it?

I thought that was one of Basil's trick questions.. :D

I think the photograph was taken at an unfortunate angle....but then I always say that about my pictures too...;)

Yes, it would have looked better if the camera were rotated 180 degrees.

Can you guess which way?

On a positive look at the mini Coupe design. A MX5 hardtop style would maybe work better..

It's the roof that's the problem - it looks like some sort of hairpiece (or perhaps a bad combover?)

Chop the top, get a good roof, and then the thing might work!
