    Make the top removable and add a cage and it's what should have been.

    Sweet! But I think I'd still prefer the Beachcomber Concept (based on the Countryman layout):

    Not so sure about that tire hanging off the back door. That might diminish your rear vision (and who wants THAT?) Not enough OFFSET!!

    Now brush the potato chip crumbs off of your Jammies and get back to work.

    I think it looks great. Good job by whoever did that. Of course its all show.

    I want one just to park it next to the VX. That way women will stop calling the VX "cute". lol

    I kinda like it...not for wheeling, but would be fun to rally! I would relocate the spare inside though.

    I think this is one of those cars that I'd clamor for them to make, but won't ever buy. I like the countryman a lot, actually, and if I were a millionare with a airplane hangar for a garage, it'd be in there.

    ...but this concept, I can't help but feel it would need many moreinches of ground clearance--otherwise, if in the market for this, why wouldn't one buy an STI or EVO instead?
