As title, how does the 2011 cooper s look like? It would be nice to have some interior and exterior pictures. Caz I heard the 2011 cooper s will have a really, really big difference to the 2010 on the interior and exterior. Does anyone know?

 

With NAV, Multi-function Steering Wheel, and custom shift *****.

 

Well, is this really how it will look like in 2011?
Is this the 3rd generation? How is outside?

 

You will have to wait until MINI introduces the 2011 MINI.... I would guess you will know more on March 31st or maybe April 1st...

 

It is a refresh of the current car just like they did in 05-06. Its not a new generation.

 

I hope they redo the center stack - That is still the one part of the car that drives me crazy.

I have a new 2010 right now as a loaner and the radio controls would drive someone mad. Once you figure it out it is OK but still baffling why the controls are laid out in such a horrible manner. I get the MINI being a little quirky, but this is simply bad design.

With a few options the rest of the interior I actually like. I liked it back when I was getting my '06 and could have waited a few months to order a new R56 instead. I would have got the NAV option to make the controls better but the center stack would still have driven me crazy.

I hope the new design emphasizes the downtubes a little more. Doesn't have to be the bang your leg version the R53 has but something a little more than what is there. Part of the interior appeal imho.
