MINI UK prices are always much higher than the US.

MotoringFile and MINIUSA have said to expect Countryman pricing to come in between the Clubman and the convertible. That doesn't leave a lot of room, and puts the Countryman at only $1K to $2K more than the Clubman. This will make Clubman sales plummet and ultimately kill the current generation of it.

Ohh - it's tiny and cute! At first glance, I like it =)

Consistently 20-25% of MINIUSA total sales since its introduction. That's not bad at all, and more sales than the convertible. If the Countryman is only $1K to $2K more, I think most buyers will bypass the Clubman.

you obviously haven't seen this



I think the Countryman is freaking good looking, and the same will I say about a BMW X3 (From an angle, and it has flared wheel-arches!)

but style is a personally opinion
