WE HAVE 2011's NOW!!

Hello All,

Morristown MINI just got several truck-loads of brand new 2011's today! Hardtops, Convertibles, Clubmans. We have Spice Orange and Eclipse Gray. I must say the interiors on them look fantastic and the new colors look even better in person. More pictures to be posted in a few. Happy Motoring!

Or we, as the entire NAM family, will come after you with pitchforks and torches. Don't worry, we'll make sure your MCS will be found a loving home, he/she gets to survive

I lovelove the new standard dash trim. It's so much less obnoxious than the checkered silver and blends well with the black interior.

Photo requests:
1) night tail lights b) little better detail of the black checker trim c) BRGII!! I saw the new print ads on MotoringFile and it's such a pretty green d) pics of the new 17" wheels would be sweet too, if you have em
Time to take A LOT of pictures, or pitchforks will ensue

I heard there might be a small bump in fuel economy for '11. Do these have EPA stickers yet?

In theory I do, although I know it should be delayed. My MA has not confirmed or denied anything. I am hoping that, because I am in a different region, it does come and simply needs an update later on. What I'm worried about though is "Eclipse Grey" being more "brownish" than I thought, since that's the impression I get from the UK website. What's your impression on it?

Not a drop of brown in the Eclipse Gray, it looks SWEET! As far as MINI Connect, we didnt get any yet.

More pictures to come when I have some more time. Wheels, interior, ect.

If you are in the Morristown NJ area, stop on by and I'll open a few up for you!

Cheers

The interior looks so much better.

Does anyone know when MINIUSA.com will be updated for 2011?

I saw the one at MTTS and I loved the body but the color combination was hideous. It was spice orange with the green leather interior. Jim McDowell hated it so much he said never again.

Can some1 tell me if 2011 Pepper White is closer to white than the 2010 model (which is more cream white)?

I saw the mini.uk pepper white and that white is more toward white. I'm really interested if this will be the color for USA mini.

Is that the new standard dash? That's much better than the silver checkerboards.

You saws the UK pepper white where? on your computer screen?

Pepper white for 2011 looks exactly like it did for 2002.
