OMG and you thought the MINI crossover was ugly...

So if any of you are happy with BMW muscling in with Mini 50 anniversary celebrations, just look what they are proposing to do with the next generation's styling.

BTW, I thought the 4x4 Crossover concept was so Fugly at Geneva last year I actually emailed BMW to say I'd never buy one, and went and bought my Honda Jazz instead! Now I don't have a problem with the first generation becuase it was produced for the right reasons, current models are far more commercial, but this is not a pretty sight...

Considering the amout of regulations they have to adhere to, I personally think thats a pretty good evolution. If they could have kept the original design, not broken any regs and made the same profits they would have done it! Besides I don't really care what the BMW Mini looks like - I'm only interested in the original!
