But now my MINI won't be as unique! And I'll get less responses from motoring citations, because people won't really be MINI fans... And I'll probably see more neglected MINIs...

I guess good for MINI though...

I really hope you're joking.

According to MINI, they received more than 920,000 visits to its U.S. website, an 89% increase over last year.

I guess a better way to look at it...

More spare parts somewhere down the road for those of us looking to honestly keep our Minis until the very end.

Saw an article in Business Week discussing the movement to small cars and they called the MINI a "once in a lifetime" car because of the interest and after sale products for dealers.
