Spoil the E63 party with Fuglyman mkII? Methinks you joke somewhat my BMW-lovin countryman. [<<< See what I did there, huh huh?]

I like everything except the rear lights, just look boring to me.

I was hoping they would be redesigned like the clubmans (not the same, but different the standard hatch)

 

[Matski]

Looks pretty good. Better than the 5dr and Clubman, IMHO. And if the Paceman replacement looks like this with a slopyy-er roof, it'll be better looking the X2.

 

[martinbo]

Not sure that I like the heavy chrome beading around the headlights - looks like liberally applied eyeliner.

And here's Countryman Mk1 and Mk2 compared, side by side:

And remember when MINIs used to look good.

Looks good except the rear lights and the interior .they could do a better job with the interior!!

 

[Mr Robert]

How big is this thing? Still a MINI or rather a MIDI?

@Mr Robert

Size of the current X1.

Interior is definitely step backwards, especially door panels.

 

[Centurion]

How big is this thing? Still a MINI or rather a MIDI?

More of a MIDI. It's been lengthened by 20cm and is now 4,297cm long and has a 450L boot! By comparison, the Audi Q3 is 4,385cm long and has a 420L boot. This is no longer a small car but sizable small SUV slotting in beneath the X1.

I have never been a Mini fan, and although its not a big car for the money, BMW have done a good job finally making the interior look more grown-up. The trim on the dash and quilted leather seats are nice touches.

 

[Matski]

Having gone over a few more of the photo's, I have to say, I really like this. The creases in the shoulder lines in the pics Centurion posted above really help, and I like all the other styling elements. X1 or Countryman, I'd probably take the Countryman.

The Countryman is more original than the X1 both inside and out, and as you said, it looks terrific in that grey colour. Where it can't beat the BMW is space. As much as I can't stand the cheapness of the X1 interior, the packaging in exceptional to the point that I almost bought one instead of an X3.

Does anyone know if the Paceman has been canned?

4 door Countryman coupe according to the rumours.. look to the production X2 renderings vs. the X1 for an idea of what the Paceman might be.
