I really like the speaker pod arrangement on the doors.

The interior is the same as the current MINIs. I'm really digging this car. I had 2 MINIs previously and really like this!

Mini's have back seats, no? So wouldn't this make yet another car where the back is really only suitable for children/pets?

All I have to say is that I wouldnt want to be sitting in the back seat in a rear end accident.

Doesn't look worse than sitting in a Smart car in ANY accident

I like it alot. I don't like the color of the roof, but if painted black, I'd love it. I think it's a nice evolution from the current Mini.

Yes, but injury could also result from just getting in/out of the cramped back seat.

No kidding. Normal coupes are bad enough for getting in/out. I can't imagine this. I didn't know there's a freakin back seat

Even the UFOs looking down on earth and they see a UFO

The wonderful thing about Mini is that one can configure the car to their liking. If you don't like the roof color combo, hell it can be changed along with other parts of the car.. There are countless combos .. Like they say, no two Minis are alike.. Try configuring one here to see for yourself http://www.miniusa.com/

This concept coupe is very unique looking to say the least..
