I busted onto the show floor before the first official press conference of the day but there was already plenty to see. My first stop was the Mini booth to catch the all-new — yet remarkably similar-looking — Mini Cooper. The booth had the Mini Cooper, Mini Cooper S, Mini Cooper S John Cooper Works Edition and even a fun Checker paint job — still getting its checked roof applied.

Overall, I was impressed by how good the new Mini looks. The single grilled is much preferable to the split job of the previous model, and the interior quality is also a welcome step up, as well. Miniphiles can check out the photos below.
