Interesting stuff. A 2.0L 4 cylinder at a minimum of 180 hp sounds like fun. And a 3 cylinder for the Straight Cooper makes a lot of sense. I just hope the body style doesn't change too much.

Nice. A 2.0L 4cyl would be awesome! This is way better than the last thread that suggested they may be sticking the 3cyl into all MINI models. Maybe they'll even twin turbo it in the JCW?! Probably not, but I can dream.

Now they just gotta keep the center speedo, the fun layout of the AC controls and overall retro-theme and I will be happy as long as the outside doesn't look awful.

Pretty much my thoughts on the subject too.
