Those lights look too much a TVR. But to add onto the comments by the people on the link, I agree that the front does look like it overhangs more. Also, its not the greatest picture, but the one that looks like its supposed to be the interior looks completely different. It kinda looks like an Audi or VW. They appear to have done away with the iconic center speedo. Oh well, at least they are sticking with the 6 year cycle of remodeling.

Per Motoringfile:

WCF may have the photos but they’ve off in several aspects of the story. First off the Clubman side-door? Yes that’s fake. And the BMW-esque interior? That’s an easy one. Because this will be the first MINI based on the UKL BMW Group platform, the testers simply shoe-horned a BMW dash onto the MINI for camo purposes. So no, the center speedo isn’t going away. However it is changing and we’ll have more on that soon. And those odd looking lights? 100% camouflage. Expect something closer to what we saw on the MINI Rocketman concept.

I want to say that this Mini might be an evolution of the current Justa because of it should improve the fuel economy but I'm curious to see what this mean for the S or the JCW trims

That front bumper cover looks like a ploy as well, they just introduced brake venting, they won't immediately remove it.

Maybe it'll have an accurate fuel gauge? NOT!

The more I look at the spy shots that they have on:

The more I'm willing to wait and see how this thing plays out.......
