Someone was saying 07'X5 looked the same [Check NXT Gen Mini Cooper]

Next Generation Mini Cooper

Whats next about it, I cant see anything to distinguish it from the old one..now this is staying the same, worse than 911s, X5 had a major difference in comparison..

Anyhow for whoever that likes the mini, enjoy!!

Mainly beyond the front windscreen

1: Higher bonnet
2: New engines - not the chrysler Neon engines
3: Cheaper construction techniques

Various nip and tucks

as far as aesthetics go, let see, hmm.....oh, yea, the lights are new. THATS IT?????

Well, journos had predicted this. How to replace retro cars like Mini, Beetle, PT Cruiser, etc etc.

It will be quite difficult to change the look of the Mini without making it look a totally new car altogether. Still, atleast we cant say that the 2007 version looks bad. Still a Cooper fan.

I'd rather call it a facelift.
