The featured article was "New for 2007"; a look at all the new models coming in 2007. They completely blew the coverage on the MINI. They stated that the GP was a 2007 model and the remainder of the line was unchanged for 2007. They stated that the R56 was a 2008 and the Traveller was going to introduced in Fall 2007. Maybe their reporters should read Motoring File so they can report accurate information. Gabe, as always, "You da man!"</p> I just got my Motor Trend issue yesterday.

Though it does look like it soaks up less of the driver's visibility.</p> Given that the front pillars look much like the R53, I don’t see why the rear would be that much different.

If they give a car to Road and Track or some other lame publication before you that would be a shame. Maybe that is already in the works?</p> Gabe, you should be pushing to get on MINI’s speed dial.

Gabe do you have anymore information on the rear quarter glass? Does it still wrap around, does it open?

It is not wrap-around and does not open.

Who wrote last years “behind the wheel”?

That I take to the grave :)
