I'm going to go ahead and vote "No" on that one. Maybe if they redesigned the body a bit, but chopping the top off of a mini doesn't quite work.

The body is just way too tall in proportion to the size of the hood.

if its a 4 seater fastback.. then thats cool, i'd bet it would handle very solid since the current mini handles pretty well

I like the regular version better. They need to make a chop-top pick-up version.

It's so weird looking, that I'm actually liking it. (I'm a GR owner, my taste is LOL)

I hope they can offer it with a black roof, and they should consider making it RWD to compete against the Miata.

I like it.

I think its way nicer than the current design, its classic, but it needs a breath of fresh air.
