The canyon carver is definetly interesting but i dun think i would ever actually spend money on one. I like the idea of a speedster though. As long as it came as a convertible. I dont really care if its a ragtop or a folding hardtop, my next mini has to be able to go topless.

You need an Exige.
I'll settle for an Elise... and it will definitely happen, just not sure when yet.

This poll needs to have a "Please don't build any of these!" box to check.

Some non-computer-savy people don't know that when someone votes on a poll, it puts it back at the top of the list.

I second the Hybrid version idea for both the MC and MCS models. COME ON MINI, MAKE A HYBRID!!

I would trade in my current MC for a MC Hybrid in a heartbeat.

I also support the addition of a "Don't make any of these" button.

So I wrote to Mini USA and asked about hybrids

and here's the email response I received later that day.

Hi Will,

Thanks for writing MINI. I am glad to hear your MINI is serving you well.

I am sorry to say MINI Division currently has no plans to bring a hybrid version of the MINI to the United States. But, we are looking into many new ideas for the future of MINI. I will be sure to forward your comments to our development team. Please stay in touch with us through MINIUSA.com for updates.

If there are further questions I can assist with, please feel free to drop me an e-mail. I am happy to lend a hand.

LET’S MOTOR.

Hmm, no plans to bring a hybrid version of the MINI to the USA. Does that mean that other countries are going to get hybrid MINIs?

MTFBWY,
--Will
