The coupe is the same as the regular Mini, except
1. It won't have a surprisingly roomy interior with a hatch that can hold a lot

Who the hell cares?

I'm 6'2" and have a ton of headroom in a Mini.
Car may be cute and boy racer, WTF do you think the FRS is going to be? Muscular, I see more boy racers, woman, girls and old men driving this car as much as the Mini!! LMAO. Anyways the Mini has great.. GREAT handling and it's FWD. The interior is great(style is arguable), the engine and twin-scroll turbo is awesome and leaves a lot of room to grow for a ~2600# car. For $24-25k BMW hot-hatch entity you can't complain. You still have the choice of a regular non-coupe Cooper S argument 1 is thrown out.
You guys can play it off all you want, the FRS will compete with the MS3, Miata, SI, Cooper S, Gencoupe and even the WRX. Anything that is sporty, fun and in the 20s NEW will be it's direct competitor.
Also the reason for bringing 2-seaters in the 20s into the equation is the fact how much room will those 2 extra seats in the FRS give? And is this car going to be a hatch/liftback to better utilize those seats and cargo capacity when they are not in use. At that point a Miata or Mini coupe would come into play, because those seats are useless.
