You can also get checkerboard mirror covers, roof applique, stripes and, for the love of God, lighted door sills.
It is as much a fashion statement as it is a car, Alas it is also a BMW - which means that it will most likely be decorating your local dealers lift rather than your driveway.

Cooper S????
Cooper S itself is a great car, a bit small for my taste and need, but IMO, worst of all, I don't want to be called Yuppies etc... If I ever want more luxury, get a IS250/300, or G35X/Skyline, beat owning a MINI and the image that they come with.

The new turbocharged Mini (R56) will not hit the states until this spring. No JCW or other hot rod version of the new TC 1.6 has been specced or announced.
I had a heavily modified 03 MCS that put down about 212 hp to the wheels. It runs a good line and can compete at the track with more powerful cars with a good driver.
However, given equal drivers, an EVO or STI will beat it at the track. The EVO can carry as much speed through the turns and accelerate faster on the exits and in the straights.
Additionally if you think Evos have quality control problems, lurk on the Mini boards and hear the horror stories about bad body and engine harnesses, engine fires, power steering pump failures, stuttering problems and chronic squeeks and rattles. My MCS was in the shop constantly during the first 3K miles I owned it. Knock on wood, my Evo has been flawless.
BTW:
During the three years I owned my MCS I felt no lessening of the urge to bang my wife or fantasize about the hot asian chick at the gym or the redhead at the supermarket. In other words, if you think the type of car you own influences your sexual orientation - it's probably only a matter of time before that closet will no longer hold you.
