The 2009 Mini Coupe Concept is a kind of birthday present, as the Mini brand celebrates 50 years since it began on July 26, 1959. And we'll all get to enjoy this present, because it will be presented in public for the first time at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show. 2009 Mini Coupe Concept First Look
#2 of 5 WTF is that ugly thing? by yatesjo Aug 26, 2009 (12:15 pm)
Overall impression is what were they design guys thinking? Nothing really works on this car visually. The front is fine... it looks like a mini but the roof line is awkward and the back end is fugly. The brown leather seats also don't fit the demeanor of the car- they look really comfy and would fit perfectly in a British luxury saloon but in a small sports coupe they don't work. Most MINIs make a splash, this one a thud.

It's adorable....EXCEPT for whatever happens to the roof in the back. Hopefully, they work it out before it hits the street.
#4 of 5 New CRX? by ktinsd Aug 26, 2009 (1:13 pm)
To my mind it seems like a 2nd Gen CRX clone. Admittedly the styling isn't the same, but the idea sure is identical. Too bad the rear styling sort of buggers up the practical nature of a hatchback. I'd buy one.

They have managed to make an even less useful Mini! You know, for all it's "premium small car" hype, it's Minis are still crappy, unreliable overpriced vanity toys.
