The Cooper gets a makeover

Mini is preparing a new hatchback version

Mini seems to be preparing a new Cooper hatchback, as foreign publications want the company to present the model to large delegations.

The information mentions a secret meeting in Helsinki, Finland which took place last week. From the attendees, no one was allowed to photograph the model, and cell phones were checked on exit.

However some information, it was inevitable that they would leak to the motoring press, but without being able to confirm their validity.

According to them, the model was presented in both a 3-door and a new 5-door version, which gathers the greatest interest. It is believed that the wheelbase will be slightly longer to give more space to the rear passengers, although it will remain shorter than the Countryman which is long 4.097 mm.

Additional, it seems that the new model will be equipped with full-LED lights, while the speedometer in the center of the body will be removed as it will be moved over the new unit which will be equipped with impressive electronic functions.

As for the drive of the new Mini Cooper hatchback, the turbocharged 1.5 liter engine with BMW TwinPower technology will take care of it. It will be available in diesel and petrol versions and its performance will vary from 100 until 200 horsepower.

Evangelia Aravani: "Finally, it turned out that Spyropoulou took my place"

H Evangelia Aravani she is invited to the show "Movies & Stars" on MTV Greece on Wednesday 20/2 at 20.00. The well-known model talks to Giorgos Satsidis and reveals her new professional plans on MTV and confesses all the behind-the-scenes, the feelings and actual facts about her departure from “To Good Joy!»

Evangelia Aravani makes a new beginning, as he revealed, on the music channel MTV and shares her feelings: "I am very happy to be on MTV and to host the Greeklips show every day 18.00 – 19.00, with favorite Greek songs and new releases. Surely with the course everything works out and now I'm on MTV, but I won't hide from you that the first time after my departure from Alpha I was sad and bitter because it was sudden and happened in a very short period of time" she declares referring to her sudden departure from Alpha's morning show "Mes si Kali Hara" after 3 weeks of stay and counting: "I had passed a test, so when they suddenly tell you that we will not continue together, I what I asked was if I did something or if you have any complaint about my work and for’ this i have to leave. I was satisfied when they told me that they have nothing to do with me and my work but because the structure of the show does not “raises” to be on the sofa six people, it must be done as it was before. Along the way it turned out that Konstantina Spyropoulou took my place. Now why they kept Konstantina and not me I can't know because it was a decision of the channel management”. As for her possible reaction if she meets Konstantina Spyropoulou: “If I meet her outside, I will talk to her. The girl didn't do anything to me. Okay, I lost my seat but it's not Konstantina's fault’ this".

In the sequel, Evangelia Aravani refers to her relationship with Natalia Germanou, clarifying the rumors that wanted them to maintain a cold relationship: "All the things that started to say that Natalya had a problem with me are not true because with Natalya we had and have a perfect relationship. Germanou was very sad and tried to see why all this happened, but ok he is a worker, he couldn't do anything more. The truth is that he was by my side and supported me saying: "Don't be sad, something better will come for you!”. And yes, Well, who came! Because they always want the media to charge something to Natalia for her relationships with the other girls on the show, like last year with Elena Papavasiliou and earlier with Sissy Christidou, meaning that he has a problem or something like that, I want to emphasize that this is not the case. Natalia supported me as much as anyone and tried to do her best".

But as far as her real feelings after leaving, Evangelia Aravani does not hesitate to confess that she was particularly upset: "I was not disappointed with my departure. I was stubborn and said that I will try to do what I like so much. I didn't think about giving up for a moment. But because I am very sensitive and when I feel wronged I cry… when all this came to me out of nowhere and exploded like a bomb in my head and I cried and the complaint took me".

End, the former Hellas star also talks about her personal life, but also about the flirting she no longer accepts from men: "I am very well. I'm in the phase where I've found myself and I'm having a great time. I'm not into intrigue, I'm low-key and I don't know if that helps the space or not. I don't have a specific type of man that I like. I like men, with a baby face, but also at other times the most masculine ones. It's how it will click for you. Men don't dare to flirt with me and that's an issue. I'm a traditional woman and I don't flirt, but in my own way I can show interest. Most of the men I dated were older, can also 10 years apart, I have never been with my age".
