MINI launches the Countryman and a new Ad campaign!
MINI just informed me they'll be starting a new print and television ad campaign today to go with the release of the Countryman and they wanted current MINI enthusiasts to be the first to see it....
Quote:
The four new, 15-second TV commercials take the versatility of the new MINI Countryman and show it off in a handful of slick and smart short films. The key to the MINI Countryman is how good it is for bridging the gap between urban and country life. The new claim, “MINI Countryman. Getaway.” says it all: get out there and escape the monotony of everyday life. From fashionistas to families, roadside baby-emergencies to hipster-chic sheep shearing, the films are made to make you laugh.
In its print debut, the MINI Countryman is set against refreshing copy that takes the MINI Countryman from inner-city dullness to the freedom of nature that lies outside city limits. 4-Wheel-Drive, 4 Doors, this 4th member of the MINI family’s got 5 seats and a love of the outdoors.
I really think this car is going to be a big hit in America. They do need to show that the rear windows actually do go down. That is a great feature of this car.

I don't get it? I guess it's going to say Cooper on the back also? So it would be a Mini Cooper Countryman S (or non S)?
Well, I think the clubman also says cooper on the back...

I like to think of One, Cooper, and Cooper S as being trim levels, but the same "car" where as the Clubman and Countryman are unique cars of their own but still very MINI.
I can't decide if the grille shape on the S looks more intimading or if it just looks grumpy. It's still taking the eyes a little getting used to.

That's exactly it. One, Cooper, Cooper s, and JCW are more like performance levels and not really cars. I debadge mine anyways... everyone knows what it is. MINIs don't need labeled.

My wife wants a MINI Cooper S Countryman All4; I think thats the full name anyhow. It's quite a mouthful if it is. The pre-production they had on MTTS looked fantastic. Not as large as I thought it would be, but still plenty of room (I believe) for the two of us and little on on the way
It will say "ReGuLaH CooPaH"... comes with the "Hah Hah" package, which includes leaky motor-mounts, leaky thermostat housing, and weaky LCA bushings.

Drew - as much as I love the idea of the Countryman...I can't help but think they could have done a better job with the frumpy/grumpy/mean-ish grille and headlights.
That still won't stop me from checking one out at the dealership...I think it could be a good fit for me here in AK.

and thought it was a nice review of how the countryman actual handles. Plus it's got some good shots of the interior. I also agree whole-heartedly with the first paragraph. ;)
I just hope they updated the ipod interface to be more user-friendly....
Also, I read in this article that the US models will only have a 4-seater option, not the 5-seater bench option? Anyone know anything about this?
I really don't think that you are going to see any in the dealerships before December, maybe even January. The roll out is February, I believe. I had read on Motoringfile that they weren't even going to start producing for the US market until late October. They might have revised that, but I haven't heard.

Well, my dealership already has a handful on order, and their ETA is mid November...guess we'll have to see what happens

It's still taking the eyes a little getting used to.
