Yep same here in SoCal. Although I've seen plenty of TV shows and some other ads where a MINI was spotted in it too where a MINI was more like product placement lol.

Same for print.

Two neighbors each bought a new MINI.
One guy added some sort of cosmetic mod (don't remember what it was), and it started a "mod war" between the two guys. Cute ad!

I heard a radio ad this morning here in SW Minnesota. Not the first time either.

I am not in the market, but are the dealers still selling at MSRP or up, given the present economy?

There are tons of ads for MINI deals right now but it is hard to get loans right now. I do not know why they are spending so much money on ads when lack of loans is why no one is buying....

I recently saw ads for a G*d D*****d Escalade and they were somehow boasting how their gas mileage was better than the MINI... It was very weak and I just laughed and shook my head. People who drive Escalades, intentionally, have a mental deficiency that cannot be measured. I was physically sickened by the commercial. And then I laughed.
