The Next Mini Will Debut On Its Creator's Birthday
Sir Alec Issigonis was the creator of the original Mini. If he were alive, which he isn't, his 107th birthday would be on November 18th. And that is when the next Mini will debut.
While the Mini Vision is just a design exercise, take a good look at its details as the upcoming Mini will certainly use some its cues.
We've already seen a preview of the new Mini with the Vision Concept. I thought it was a rather attractive little bugger, much better than the car we have now, which I like but do find a bit bulbous.
Showing it off on Issigonis' birthday could be construed as a strong statement about the next Mini: It's hearkening back to the original and honoring its creator. That means the next Mini has to be light, lithe, and smaller than the one we have now. More like the last design.
RelatedMini Coopers are small cars. That's what Mini means. The Mini Paceman is not a small car. It's a motoring paradox. It's perplexing.…
Or Mini is just debuting it on that day because it's convenient for marketing and coincides with the LA Auto Show. Let's hope that this car is decidedly more original Mini Cooper than Mini Paceman. Because anything is better than the Paceman

Moment of truth, then.
I like how all MINI wants to talk about since the spy shots of the ugly-**** F56 came out is the Vision concept and how great it is. The F56 clearly has some major styling issues that the Vision concept doesn't have (things that can't be explained away by lens type or distance). Have they been rushing to try to fix the issues with the F56 to make it more like the Vision concept at the 11th hour, or are they just trying to postpone the inevitable?
