I heard in another thread that the MINI front end will be changing in '05. Is this for sure? I really enjoy the way the MINIs look now. I don't want them to "goon" up the design. And if it is true, why the sudden change? The car has only been out for 2 years and some people in my area still don't even know what it is. Seems a little soon to switch things up.

 

I heard they want to increase the amount of airflow available for cooling. I agree the front of the car looks good. I much prefer it over the back. The car has the bulldog thing happeneing in the front, the back has that cute, dare I say it "chick car" thing. I hope they do something with the back personaly. It could be why people get pissed when you pass them. The "I ain't getting passed by that thing" reaction.

 

I believe any change will be minor. It has been said it's more of a "freshening" than a change.

 

Here's some news for you:
