2008 Paris Motor Show: MINI Crossover Concept

Well, I know I have spoken about this before in previous posts, but here is the MINI Crossover concept in full display at the Paris Motor Show. Don't she look sharp, but yet still a little odd? That's my first take, but it could be that my mind is so ingrained with the vision of MINIs that have been in effect for some time that it's institutionalized from thinking anything else would be better! :)

Check it out below from InsideLine:

I gotta say this thing is really starting to grow on me. I don't know how much I still like the fact that it's a two door, but obviously BMW is still trying to ensure that the engine and it's 1.6 Liter design will continue to be high performance for MINI lovers that have come to expect good things from such a small package. The back of the car and its design is the thing that obviously sets it apart, with the higher look, open from the side, and having the retractable roof for bigger things like skis or something of that nature. If you are or were a MINI fan and didn't appreciate the "boot" in the back that basically could house about 2 bags of groceries previously, this version will certainly assist in changing that disappointment.
