New MINI

Startled cat. Not a good look, but aside that hardly any difference externally to the outgoing.
Underneath lots of changes for the better.

Tom - I think it's a fantastic car. My daughter has had 2 of the Cooper S in a row. As per my post underneath is where all the changes are.
2.0 petrol, 6 speed box, massive fuel improvement and slightly larger dimensions. Will be an awesome car that will sell really well.
Just not set on the front lower grille, but it would grow on me.
It will be a sales success which will be good for the british economy - but its yet another new car thats got bigger and lost no weight . There are some clever engines but the rocketman looked like a real way forward for mini its a shame that project seems to be on hold.
When are BMW going to be as bold as Tata have been with JLR who have re-invented a british brand with a new design language .

Beaten to death with the ugly stick.

Agree. I've owned 3 MINI's and the wife has a 2nd gen Cooper S. Great car. I've always liked the 1st gen BMW MINI and I've never been sure of the updates since but saying that they are still great drivers cars. Still today the John Cooper Works S (supercharged) I had would be classed as a very capable road blaster!
Worth pointing out that the front bumper on the photo Breaker posted is the Cooper S. The Cooper has a different and (I think) better looking version.
Sounds like an across the board improvement to me. Great engines, better handling, superb economy and better interior quality and space.
