MINI Superleggera Roadster is headed for production in 2018. What do you guys think? Does not appeal to me.

Agreed! Probably a blast to drive, but I can't get past the ugly. The modern Mini was cool when it came out, but all it's variants are butt ugly!

Did not pay much heed to it. The route I take to work is pockmarked and cratered in a certain narrow area of downtown. But that is the norm there. Frequent water main breaks and the like. Today I took another route. Co-worker wanted a ride to a Nissan dealership and I volunteered. As I drove along, I realized that the state of the roads is terrible. I was zigzagging where possible when there was no traffic to avoid bottoming out. The shoulder on several roads had disintegrated and pebble and gravel stood in place of a solid shoulder. Makes me regret that I signed up for a track day in April and wondering how the roads to Lime Rock are.

How bad or good are the roads around where you live? I need to check and see how some of the roads I use for the S2000 are at some point. I fear we are in for a long road repair season. Maybe it is time for me to purchase a Toyota 4 Runner.
It's bad in the Rochester area. Seems like the roads with the best curves are the worst. The road in front of my house is probably due to be redone, which means the old peel, tar, stone and let traffic finish it off. That is good for a couple of weeks on not driving the S to keep the stones out of it.
HA!rry

I kind of dig the fin Levi.
I'm hoping fins make a comeback in my lifetime

The corner of Main & Bailey right by UB S. Campus is probably the worst I've ever seen a road from a pothole standpoint. There is no "safe" line through there.

Does anyone know if the solitary fin was only cosmetic or if it offered any sort of aero advantage?

Speaking of potholes I bottomed out this am coming in to work. I need a Camry or an SUV for the warzone.
