A little Mini with big zip

THIS year, Mini celebrates 10 years of retro done right.

BMW had quite the task to live up to when they resurrected the vaunted nameplate of a tiny car that was both transport for the masses and a rally champion. However, I think we can all safely say: job well done, tea and crumpets all around.

But you can't just keep churning out a single model and expect to run a car company. For instance, people who loved the original are going to want something bigger. Enter the stationwagon-ish Clubman and the small-but-roomy Countryman crossover.

But that's not the only group you've got to cater to. With 10 year's worth of Cooper hatchbacks on the road, picking out white bonnet stripes and Union Jack mirrors might not be enough to set your new Mini apart from the crowd.

Maybe what you're looking for is a Mini that's even less practical. Something with a little more style. Something you won't see a dozen of every day.

Well good news then. Mini has you covered.

Design

Before we get carried away, it's worth noting that style is a highly subjective thing. I may not be the most stylish person in the world, but my first thoughts upon seeing the Mini Coupe in the metal for the first time ran something along the lines of, "My eyes! The goggles do nothing!"

This is not a car for everyone. The choppeddown roofline is purported to resemble a backwards baseball hat, and we all know you can't wear your baseball hat backward in a job interview. Unless you're applying to be a baseball umpire.

From some angles, the Mini Coupe works quite well; some of the cutesy nature of the regular Cooper has been replaced by a bit more aggression. However, from other angles it looks like an elephant sat on it.
