Looks like a Mini Cooper attacker !   Good thing too....... Consumer Reports hates Mini coopers.........  Actually I like the aggressive stance in the pic.......

Such a short and tall vehicle isn't the most obvious performance platform but it does look better than I would have thought. It is interesting at least but not sure how salable it is.

Adding more HP is less riskey, since they can use the motor in several applications.  Don't think the 2 doors would sell much....

Agreed. I'd say no to a two-door but I'd love to have those fender flares.
