I think the exterior looks really good. Unsure about the interior though… not the biggest fan of the minimalistic approach of one huge centre screen.

Cooper s without a bonnet scoop?

I don’t hate it and like most new MINI’s will take time getting used to it but I’m sure I’ll like it in the flesh.

‘Think the car pictured is an SE, doesn’t have an exhaust and the camouflaged cars in the background look like they have scoops

[scottch]

F56 electric mini's even get a bonnet scoop, times are changing!

Looks like MINI will be launching the F66 next March CLICK (https://www.motoringfile.com/2023/01/30/exclusive-next-generation-2024-f66-mini-cooper-launch-dates/)

Surprised its not a G66 with BMW's latest cars all being "G", possibly because its more of a heavy LCI than a full new car

[MINI William]

Some details of the new JCW, looks like the car will be running and updated version of the current B48

[MINI William]

After fully reading the article I can’t help but feel a bit disappointed that MINI are sticking with similar power figures for the JCW, MINI just seem to be getting left behind

[badwolf340]

JCW getting left behind again :ragin:

Hey all, my two pence. I think the car is losing its character, I feel like the souls being removed and the car is fading into any other brand. I have had several Audi A4 company cars and moved to a Cupra Formentor in Sept for a change, only to realise the cars very much like any other VW (I know it's part of the same group). I just think the cars nowadays are really all just slightly different versions of the same car and behave the same on the road. That's what I see when I look at the Mini now. I hope Im wrong however with driving new cars every 3 yrs I think they are all just jelly's made into different shapes now. Thoughts?

[Track Ali]

On the whole I think it's looking good.

Wasn't keen on the new Countryman but it'll probably grow on me and the new hatch might just be my favourite generation yet.
Will wait and see if the power and weight figures turn out as predicted but so far I like everything else.
