New MINI Cooper?

As just found out today, Rolls Royce is making a package for Mini. This would mean as a upgrade leather package, wood grain, and other types of luxurious trims and packages to the car. If you would like to find out more here is a link to a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnY97rf5590

It would be nice to see some better materials than all the plastics, but if the price drove it up another 5k, they can shelve that idea. There are far better plastics out there than what even Mini is using today. Glad I got leather, but still, the basketball dash is kind of weak.
