England 

When I first saw these I thought they looked ok, dare I say, quite Cool ..........then I heard that the stying design for the roof was done to imitate a baseball cap on backwards (apparently true).........and for that reason...."I'm out"!

From Evo and reference to backwards baseball cap looks
"...... but it’s the Mini that arouses the greatest curiosity, so that’s the key I grab first. The rakish windscreen, bubble roof and abrupt bobtail are undeniably bold, but there’s something slightly odd about the overall effect. Personally I can’t forget (however hard I try) the Coupe’s designer saying the roof was supposed to represent a baseball cap worn backwards. It all seems desperately uncool, the four-wheeled equivalent of your dad dancing."
