2014 MY will be a completely new car (engine, body, styling), the 3rd generation MINI. It has not been officially announced or shown to the public yet. It is expected to start production this fall, and not available in the US until 2014.

Thanks just signed up for Metroplex Mini!

I thought about waiting for the 2014 but wanted one sooner (I just couldn't wait)!

I just bought a Countryman, so I'm not in the market for a long time, but if I still had my '10 R56, I would wait until the '15 models came out before I considered trading in.
