MINI Cooper Cabriolet spied
May 28, 2008 by George Skentzos
A cabriolet edition of the outrageously popular MINI Cooper has been spied testing just outside the firm’s Munich headquarters.
Available later this year in Europe, the MINI Cooper Cabrio will feature the same model line-up as its hard-top sibling.
Judging by the size of the rear C-pillar, visibility doesn’t seem to have improved over the hard-top model either.
Although perhaps of most concern is the apparent lack of storage for the soft-top roof, however we will have to wait until more photos surface with the roof down before we can pass judgment.

Great car when the weather is good.

whats the difference between this car and the mini cabrios in mini dealerships everywhere ????
When the new new mini was introduced a year or two ago, they never updated the cabrio. So cabrio has finally caught up with the rest of the range. For one the S is turbo charged rather than supercharged, they’ve got different engines and different gearboxes. They also look slightly different. And are a bit more reliable and better quality. Or so I’ve heard.
Seen out side the firms “firm’s Munich headquarters”?? those pictures are taken in the states somewhere.
^ Mhmm, California judging by the plates
Prefer this over the VW Beetle!
^Does anybody else?
I would think that everybody would prefer this over the beetle, which mechanically is mega ancient. (or at least based on the previous gen golf)
I certainly would get a mini over a beetle. Though I wouldn’t buy either due to them being kinda, overpriced.
I’d take an MX-5 instead. \
^Yeah i wouldnt buy one but if I had too!
schönes cabrio, allerdings gewöhnungsbedürfig ist der Style schon.
