Worldwide Mini sales according to Motoringfile article.
A total of 131,896 customer deliveries in the first six months of the year (prev. yr. 148,799 / -11.4%) with 28,738 of those delivered in June (prev. yr. 31,102 / -7.6%). However sales of the new MINI Hatch, the core model which began to arrive in the showrooms in March, are beginning to reflect the positive customer reaction to the third generation of this iconic car. In June, 12,862 units were sold, an increase of 3.2% on the same month last year (prev. yr. 12,460). This positive trend in MINI sales is expected to continue through the rest of the year.

I think that F56 sales will continue to surpass R56 sales. And when Mini releases the F models of the other cars in coming years their sales should pick up. I think the Coupe/Roadster will always be a niche vehicle because of only 2 seats. The Cabrio is long in the tooth, Countryman will the last to update. BTW the BMW worldwide sold a million vehicles in 6 months, a record for them.

 

I am waiting for the new cabrio! Hope it arrives soon! Anyone know when it is coming?
