    It's not running yet, but you should be able to watch the videos from the London launch (and other cities) here: NEW MINI.

    I watched the live event at 4 PM Eastern. I want those 10 min of my life back.

    I'll bet the videos from the other locations will be just as exciting, although if you dig deeply enough on the website you'll find incredible amounts of minutiae - like a color chart that shows both a dark red and what looks like Chili Red. :crazy:

    Take a look at the US version of the somewhat similar site. I think the US one is better done.

    Where did you see two Red's. The US color chart only has one red.

    The New Hardtop

    This is the chart from the US site.

    I wonder if you can get the S wing on the Cooper Model. :ihih:

    Anyone have a color list, on my MAC all those colors look a little dull.

    We shall see when it hits the showroom.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who wishes that hadn't happened. I still don't know what he put in that box or why a 107 year old deceased man would want an iPhone cover.

    And given fan reaction to date, I'm not sure that the key phrase should be that they designed it with fans and enthusiasts in mind. Sometimes less is more when it comes to things like that. I'd hoped, maybe, for picture-in-picture real life motoring footage showing the dash and what it all looks like. But not yet, obviously.

    Overall, the red isn't bad. We haven't seen it in decent lighting yet, tho. Looking forward to seeing it in person.

    I was clicking around the UK site and stumbled on this: http://www.mini.com/newmini/product/en/index.html.

    Maybe MINI USA is holding Chili Red for the new fJCW.

    Chili will only be available on the JCW. Another red will be used for the Justa and S. I suspect that's what we saw today - the new red.
