Tomorrow you say?

Let's play it safe this time then, since that's only a couple of hours

However, we have to make arrangements for the next big launch!

is it too close to the current model?

for example, i don't see so much difference outside. also, new engines only improves milelage, and the S model is still using 1.6 engine. even peugeot 207 is using a 1.6T, not even a very high class model. opel astra OPC will have 200(+?)hp and renault clio RS already has 200hp. the MINI seems doesn't have significant difference to the old one.

would anyone plz explain that if you know?

It was made to look like the outgoing one because people loved it/bought it for that (shape/overall look).
Think Porsche 911, 996 generation vs. 997 generation.
The engines will become more powerfull with the FL. There is also the Works witch will be introduced later.
