Mini Caught Testing Coupe

Not gonna lie guys, this thing just caught my attention in a pretty big way, maybe this is a sign that the market will be exploding soon. We can only hope. |

The concept version looks great, like a super cheap Porsche...but FWD.
I wouldn't buy it because it doesn't have back-seats. As useless backseats might be in a car like this (or the FT-86) there's always a way to Tetris a friend in there when necessary. |

Mini (BMW) needs to remember that John Cooper was also the guy that figured out the MR drivetrain would dominate F1. THAT would be an interesting Mini...
