If you ever saw "The Italian Job" you'd probably have a little more respect for them. They were fast little cars that drove through maintenance tunnels. No other car would do that. But as far as them LOOKING gay... well, they're dinky cars. Putting flames on it wouldn't make it look anymore badass, IMO, so what more can you do? 200 hp supercharger sounds about right...

So no one really has anything against it thats cool I like them too and had one on order and then when the dealer got it all of a sudden the price shot up to like $31,000 for a mini I was like huh? I would still buy one though when and if the price goes down. BTW they now have a 240hp version in the works damn it gets stronger and stronger lol.It's like hulk on wheels.

One of the only cool things with the little cars is that you can parallel park in the smallest spots. That's kinda cool. Salvage it as best as you can...

they're gonna have a new engine in the cooper soon.. bmw bought the engine off of either peugot or renault (can't remember which one) they just said that their engine was too big with too little power. Cooper S's are fun to drive! Very nice handling. Same as the normal Coopers. Dad rented one when he had to get his 5-series serviced. He's 6'2" and fit in quite comfortably, but if anyone was sitting behind, him that person wouldn't have much space..

What I picture:
Like in Police Academy (1, 2, 12, 16... I don't remember). The tall guy, Hightower was so big that he took out the front seats so that he could fit in the little yellow car.... hahaha.
