It took a while for the R56 body to grow on me, don't mind them now. This new body however, not so sure.

Unless you expect the production model to come in black and yellow camo, there really is no way to tell what the new car will truly look like. Under that camo are stick on panels to mask the true shape. The weird taillights (with the stick-out cylindrical shaped pieces) are clearly just masks. No way to really tell what it will look like until all of the camo is removed and the final production model is revealed.

Still glad I ordered a R56 though, as waiting to determine if I liked the new design was a little too risky for me. That, and I would've needed alternate transportation for a few months as my lease ends in July!

Unless they find a place to store a spare i doubt it.
If they keep making the Mini larger that shouldn't be a problem.

BMW is in love with run-flops, I bet they will stick around.
