And it's a thing I've never seen before. A MINI... Coupe?

I like it more than the Cooper.

I think the ones with white tops look like frat boys. Frat guys around here love backwards white hats.

HEB on Christmas Eve? You're a braver person than I, Jake. Heh. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Fun fact, the rear still opens as a hatch. I originally thought just the tiny trunk opened.

Ah yes...they are an even less practical MINI. The coupe is a hoot in JCW form, not sure I'd get one in another trim TBH. MINI hasn't confirmed a version on the FXX platform yet.

Most people seem to hate it for being smaller with no perceivable benefit.

Plus, it looks like it has a backwards baseball cap on.

Lurking 5.0 in the background.

I don't care for them, I think they look a bit silly. You're lucky it had a black roof, they're not all like that.

So do I. I also prefer the roadster to the standard Mini Cooper convertible.

Sadly we are a minority and they are getting rid of them next year. It didn't help that they are more expensive.

Was getting gas and saw it in the parking lot. Had to get a pic.

I used to think they looked funky in photos but I see one driving around all the time and I think it looks great!

Safe travels. Your family's in my thoughts.

Thank you. Gonna be a lot of hours on the road the next few days. :(

I go back and forth on it. I really liked that roadster concept they showed off earlier this year. Would rather see that in person... haha.

I prefer the roadster iteration of the Cooper coupe since it lacks the baseball-cap roof, though I wouldn't turn down a Cooper Coupe S with a manual - it'd be a good bit faster than my Focus SE.

It's a less practical MINI for those who don't use the back seats. The rear still opens with a hatch though.
