Visited the Detroit Auto Show today. Nice MINI display.... lot's of people. Probably the most fun display at the show. I just posted a few pics in the gallery.

Neat display illustrating the "North American Car of the Year" award:

New gold color for the Cooper:

The BRG got plenty of attention, too. Notice the chrome side mirror caps:

I sat in every comparable car (are there any cars comparable to the MINI?) and there is absolutely no comparison! There is no Focus, Golf, Subaru, Honda, etc., that comes close to the MINI! In fact, there were plenty of cars that cost $35K & more (some a LOT more) that didn't compare!
