Next-Generation Mini Cooper Makes U.S. Debut at Detroit Auto Show

Europe got a taste of the all-new Mini Cooper last month in Paris, but it will be more than two months before anyone on U.S. soil gets a first-hand look at the familiar-looking Cooper redesign. Word came today that Mini would use the setting of the Detroit auto show in early January to debut the next-generation Mini to the U.S., instead of the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show in late November. That’s fairly surprising, given the new Cooper is basically ready to roll and has already made its global debut.
