Lately the MINI brand has been losing appeal and market share in the premium small-car segment due to competitors like the Audi A1, Fiat 500 and Citroën DS3. One of the criticisms is the playful styling of the current MINI, which often make the car look like a toy or a trendy fashion victim relying heavily on printed stickers or "limited editions" to differentiate.
this bit is interesting

The new MINI family is moving to the new modular F-platform which will also be shared with BMW’s front-wheel-drive models
are they referring to front wheel drive cars with BMW badges?
the front here looks like a fish
the high waistline and low roof will make it so claustrophobic inside, but the high waistline is required for the European pedestrian safety rules where the bonnet/nose needs to be at a certain height... so if you want a low car you end up with small windows
