I just saw the 2007 "in the flesh", so to speak. I see virtually no significant visual difference between the 2 models. MINI caught the first generation overall look to a "T". Better drivetrain, better cockpit finish and overall a tighter package. I think all the naysaysers are just praying and trying to BS everyone that their resale values don't start to plummett.
I think they are all wrong.
2007's in the showroom, my 2006 just took a multi thousand dollar hit in the wallet.
Looking at a base 2007 S as we speak...
