Chossy, I used to be of the same opinion as you.
Lookswise I thought the Swift Sport looked a lot meaner and is an improvement on a mini kind of design and id also been looking at the C2 VTS and other wee hot hatches.But really, the Mini wins absolute hands down in terms of build quality (it puts the others to shame) and value for money (if you get yourself a good deal) and the Cooper S's are far faster than all those other hatches.
Some Mini's really do look gay though! i'll agree with you on that.
I'd previously described them as quite feminine - whereas the Swift Sport which is VERY similar shape looks more Masculine.
I think its like the red or the blue ones that do look the gayest of the minis but it really depends on how it's been specc'd up.With mines for adding new grills&alloys, the right thing to do (seeing as my roof n mirrors are white) would be to go for white alloys and grills but i think this'll make it look too cutesy and gay.
So i'll probably be opting for Anthracite alloys with a black grill. Think that should give the car a nice balance of Black through Grey to White and will give a meaner and masculine look.
