Thanks....lots of conjecture in that article, but sounds plausible. Not a fan of 3-cyl engines, but let's see what BMW/Mini brings to the table.

Sounds like late 2013 for Mini launch - probably a '14 model year.

Feels like forever for them to release the third gen hardtop but if I wait Ill probably be ready for a new car by then

Hoping the three cylinder engine sounds good, is reliable, and gets good MPG like the article suggests.
