I am an avid Subaru fan (I own 2) but I have decided that I the terrible fuel economy of 2 heavily modifed cars is really getting to me. So I have been thinking of getting a R56 MCS. I am not really in a huge hurry for this and I've test driven a couple 07 MCS. But I am trying to figure out what the differances are for 08? Are there going to be different color options? Pricing changing at all? More options?

 

Basically there are none. As far as we know, the only differences in the 08s (when compared to the late model 07s) is a USB port (as long as you order the Bluetooth Prep package) and possibly auto up windows. The new auto stop/start and regenerative braking options aren't coming to the U.S. Also, we haven't heard of any color changes, etc. on the 08s.

Thus, if you're in a hurry for a new MINI, there's no real sense in waiting (not to mention that the 08's are probably going to see a price increase over the 07s).
