I still think it's laser blue. If you look at the part that doesn't have a shadow cast on it, it appears to be the same shade.

You know I think from here on out it may be impossible to order a 2006, just a guess, maybe they are able to run two production lines, but I wouldn't WAIT a day longer if someone wanted a 2006.

I love how (in that BBC video) that engine comes up out of the floor into the body of the MINI. Very cool.

Wow, I really do like it! Makes me vaguely (but just vaguely) wish I'd waited.

And that woodgrain interior...is that actually an option on the '07? Nice!

OK, a nod to the R56-haters, side by side the rear-view on the '06 looks a bit better. The '07 looks compressed.

But it's a bit like comparing sisters.

The hot rodders pay big bucks to have their roofs sectioned for that look.
