It looks terrified in that first picture.

When I first saw it I thought it was a Hot Wheels car.
That's not a bad thing for a MINI. I think the front is an improvement over the current R56. The taillamps have some serious Countryman in them, and that's NOT a good thing.

looks smaller to me too, but that has to be an illusion. nobody downsizes cars anymore
That premise is slightly outdated. Plenty of cars are downsizing now and the trend of ever-larger cars is at an end.
And, they could afford to shrink the standard Mini hardtop if they had more plans for larger models.
The new Mazda 3s hatch is 1.8" shorter and a couple hundred pounds lighter.
Keep telling yourself that 1.8" is a huge amount, I am sure all the ladies will believe you too.
From I've read it's supposed to be slightly bigger, new 3 cylinder engine and possibly diesel, Cooper S keeping hte current 1.6l turbo, and no more center speedo (but the dash shape looks roughly the same).
