Wow, you managed to capture a good angle for that thing. At least it wears its mass low and wide.

Several months back we reviewed the Mini Coupe and found it to be a capable playmate, but lacking in the typical utility that we’ve come to expect from Minis over the years.

We had the chance to sample one in Germany, including a few laps of the legendary Nürburgring. Is the extra snazzy enough to offset the unusual looks, or the lack of traditional Mini function?
