New Mini Cooper unveiled
It's hard to tell the difference between this and the old one, but the new technology in the car is impressive. I didn't expect it to get features such as HUD and full LED headlights at all. The 2 series doesn't even get that.. I'm disappointed with the interior though. It looks too similar to the cartoonish appearance of its predecessor.
New Mini gets a more angled bonnet and windscreen, while the headlights are now less pronounced than before. Riding on BMW’s UKL1 platform, which is set to underpin a number of BMW’s upcoming compact FWD models, the new Mini will be larger than the model it replaces. The new car is palpably larger than its predecessor The new Mini has been officially unveiled BMW's new UKL1 platform underpins the car Familiar circle-shaped cabin elements remain Quote:

Okay, the new Min and the new FWD Bimmers are to share a platform. How about sharing some dealerships as well?
I would have been stone serious about a Min as our next purchase, but the only dealer is buried in-town in Pittsburgh, which is just a giant PITA for service. Since they will be sharing components, why not let them be purchased and maintained at the same shops? Or am I getting all hung up on that 'making sense' thing? Moon |

Can they still be called Mini's anymore, its becoming like an oxymoron. The majority of Mini's I see in the parking lots are huge.

On the Countryman the centre speedo is pointless as there is a digital speedo in the rev counter, I don't think I ever look at the centre speedo, the only person is my wife and she generally makes me slow down. So I'm happy to see it go. The interior quality appears to have made a big improvement, the current MINI interiors are not good enough for a premium priced product.
