Took a quick test drive down in Philly at MINI of the Main Line, and dropped a few MINIQ coupons.  Overall I like the car some thoughts:

1. Sport seats much better
2. Black Cloth option really nice
3. Need to keep the Sport button pushed for a ride closer to R53
4. Power is similar with no noticeable lag
5. Clutch seems really soft
6. Shifting seems smoother - throws about the same
7. Center console layout is good but seems a bit barren
8. Not to excited about the radio placement
9  Quieter ride minimal engine noise in the cabin
10. Looks like the interior boot size is increased slightly

Overall, the car retains the MINI look and feel.  Other than the engine change which I think needs a little time to see what he impact is, the cosmetic changes are pretty good.
