The new Mini Cabrio isn't due to hit the motor show circuit until the Detroit Auto Show in January, so presenting these first leaked press images of the model comes somewhat as a surprise.
Production of the previous generation Mini Cabrio has already ended, and the first units of the new generation won't make it to the production line until March next year. Therefore, these unearthed images are likely to provide enthusiasts a welcomed fix in the meantime.
The new open-top version of the Mini will feature the same 3-in-1 folding soft-top as the current model, with an integrated automatic sunroof along with a heated rear window.

i prefer the roof to fold flat and hide well. maybe the folded roof aids as a spoiler, aerodynamic effect! LOL but i see no space for it to hide well. ): well, seems alright!
i buy used mini's as a job, and this looks pretty similar to the last one, kind of disappointed that it probably translates to the same crap boot space and rear leg room for dwarves only..
remember when they re did the mini a while back they didnt change it that much, they have stuck to the same principle here...
that folded roof design look very clumsey (abit like the one on the bettle) and ugly... but over all i like it, but then once again who doesnt love the mini??
The two-piece trunk (sorry, boot) opening seems to be the new innovation, in addition to the shorter top stack. Clever! Rear vision still a calamity, and who picks these soft top/paint color combos for their press cars, but overall looks expectedly nice. (I'll still take a Miata, thanks...)
