I still love this marque and I will still be around, preferred selling to breaking, as a great runner and performer"

I like the idea of making it look "chopped" like Mini's of old, but that roof just looks like a stupid hat!
Ummm... what's it supposed to be? Roofline just doesn't work at all if you ask me

For a minute I was going to reply, no I'm thinking as well. But then I am alone right now, and maybe you are, so I decided against posting it.
Anyway, to the picture. What is it?

Has it been crash tested and this is the result

No, that's a picture made by a little kid cutting bits out of car magazines and using pritt stick to make a car. Let's see if we can figure out where the bits came from?
OK, I'll start with the roof. It's a hardtop from an MGF.

Looks like they've taken inspiration from the Citroën DS3 (which I think is a cool car) http://www.ds3.citroen.com/uk/

Yes, it would have looked better if the camera were rotated 180 degrees.
Can you guess which way?
Ha ha I knew it!! The same designers came up with this.......
It's PIG ugly too.....

On a positive look at the mini Coupe design. A MX5 hardtop style would maybe work better..

It's the roof that's the problem - it looks like some sort of hairpiece (or perhaps a bad combover?)
Chop the top, get a good roof, and then the thing might work!
