Next Generation Mini Cooper Spy Shots



There are a whole raft Mini Cooper photos at World Car Fans. BMW isn't straying too far from the formula and why should they? The Mini has been a phenomenal success. The cars are still commanding a premium in the Bay Area. I toyed around with the idea of buying one recently, but was put off by the "Buy our accessories/markup or take a walk" attitude. However, I'm happy to see the small, stylish car doing well, even if I won't be driving one anytime soon. Click here to check out the photos.

Nice blog. I came here via Autoblog and had been considering starting a similar blog, although I have a more general one called "Things I've Noticed" at www.UH2L.com.

As for the MINI, I like the progression of the styling, although those pedestrian protection laws are making front ends quite bulbous. And to own a MINI is quite a compromise because you get no space and the fuel economy is not that great for a car of that size. A larger Vibe or Matrix gets better fuel economy.
