The slightly larger dimensions of the second generation Mini should help to better store the folding canvas top when it is in open-air mode, and there will be some more room for the rear passengers, too. Unfortunately the blind spot caused by the fabric top's C-pillar is still quite large, resulting in poor visibility when the top is up.
The new Mini Cabrio is expected to go on sale in spring 2008.
