Interesting that they'll be making 3000 this time around.
I'm currently on my second GP2. Great car... Wonder how this will fair against it!

Yep... At least 80bhp up on the previous GP.
I wonder how heavy it'll be.

I have always like MINIs so much so that I owned a Cooper S with the Turbo(a 2007 Model). The only unfortunate thing with it was the reliability was kind of crap and the dual mass flywheel apparently helps to burn through clutches. Needless to say having it in the shop more than on the road turned me off of MINI's.
That being said, I have friends that say JCW's are actually more reliable. Seeing this thing pop up on the news feed though is very exciting! I still love MINI's but I am not sure I will ever own one again until they get their reliability taken care of. I still think MINI's are the most fun to drive hatchback cars and I always love the way they look.

I love the new taillights!
Yeah I also really like them, when I saw them for the first time I was like wow they actually made it from the concept to production.

The taillights are that sort of silly Rule Britannia thing only MINI could pull off. That said, they looked so much better on the original concept that birthed them: the Superleggera:
Should be interesting to see how many scalps this thing can claim. Like @VXR, I'm a little sad that front bumper is still in use: that's the worst part of the modern car IMO. Also, five-spokers? That's one too many!

Awesome! I'll be glad to compare this to the Veloster N and Civic Si.
Too bad it'll be relatively unaffordable and terribly unreliable.
EDIT: I just went to the Mini website to check prices and almost lost my lunch. You have got to be joking. How is this company still in business?

The mini has gotten to tall and ugly. The wings only make it look more so
