I was watching Motorweek this morning on PBS (Sacramento, Channel 6) and they noted that the MCS would be a featured road test next week. Check your local listings.

Thanks for the heads up! I will definitely tune in , though i can predict that this group will probably nit pick the car apart! I watch all the auto shows and these guys are truly biased! I cannot begin to figure out their awards criteria. Last award for 2002 for small car was the Nissan Sentra. Great car but where was the newness, technology etc! Look at their groupings. Where will the Mini fit? Best small car (Sentra) best small sedan(Wrx), Mini not a sedan. Best sports car(Corvette). While I will watch the show because I love this car, I suspect it will get a mediocre review at best. I hope I am proved wrong and have to eat a mile of"Crow"! It will be my pleasure if these guys do us justice! Sorry for the tirade! Motor On!!

I thought I saw a quick blurb about them gettin a MCS as a long term tester several shows ago. If so, they loved it and were having a problem prying the keys away from various editors.

Hey DennisJ,
I checked out the Motorweek website and found the road test article if you're interested http://www.mpt.org/motorweek/reviews/rt2204a.shtml
All thumbs up except for the seats and rear leg room.
Have a great MINI day
