The biggest MINI of them all, the Countryman, debuted its refreshed looks for the guests at the 2014 New York Auto Show.

The compact SUV still rides on its current platform, and still uses the 1.6-liter four-pot that pushes anywhere from 121 to 208 horsepower, depending upon whether the owner selects the Cooper, Cooper S or John Cooper Works trims. A six-speed manual is standard on all, with a six-speed auto available for a few more dollars. All-wheel drive is optional for the Cooper and Cooper S, standard for the John Cooper Works model.

Starting price for the 2015 Countryman is expected to be around $23,000, and will arrive in showrooms this July.

Still now tow rating for the USA, while it's rated to tow everywhere else? PASS.

Is it just me or does this look exactly the same as the old one... only with black painted headlights?

TMA1 I guess they're not expecting big things from a 5,800 lb sports car.
Lichtronamo The current Accord and forthcoming Camry are heavlily revised models, not all new. GM could have probably done the same with Malibu just to stay in the space. GM (and Ford's) retreat from cars seems like a path to nowhere but shrinking marketshare that just feeds into Toyota's continual growth. It seems shocking that GM and Ford have become so small in the US (notwithstanding full-size trucks) and other markets around world.
Scott Read through and everyone seems to have missed the main question:Is Tim Healy an old geezer now?"Or is it just a crossover world and I'm now an old guy* tilting at windmills and yelling at clouds?"
ToolGuy My latest vehicle acquisition is slightly older than this one, same parent company, but has a full frame, rear-wheel drive and a longitudinally-mounted pushrod V8 gasoline engine. Almost like it was engineered and manufactured by a completely different group of people. Hmmm...
