Here It Is?

http://www.autocar.co.uk/news_article.asp?na_id=212818

Well it's the foto of a blue MC on top of the page....I hope the mirrors don't have turn signals in them...I like the over size grille but I am an MCS guy so let's see how that looks.........How long do I have to wait??????!!!!!!

I hope not...

That photo of the blue one is just a photoshoped old mini. No doubt about it. Plus if the grille looks like that I'll cry. I don't think this mag has the cred required for me to buy their "artist renderings" and thank god, because I personally like some of the other possible ones from American mags. But that grille shape is just goofy.

Peace,
James

Well, since in the article it states that this new MINI will go on sale in two years, this is an old piece. www.motoringfile.com has lots of info about the next generation MINI.

I do like that the fog lights look like cannons.
