New MINIUSA just DAYS AWAY!?!

Per www.MotoringFile.com ... the new MINIUSA is mere days away from going live!!!

Thats a MONTH earlier than the previous projections of December 18th! Could it be that we will be able to configure virtual cars to our hearts content in under ONE WEEK!?! Thanksgiving may look a bit more like Christmas this year.

I wonder if that means US spec'd orders might occurr a bit earlier than planned as well? (One can dream

)

Finally, I can throw away the stacks of paper I have been using to configure and price my MINI and use the configurator like a normal obsessed person.

bolomitch,
I can second that. My desk at work is covered with highlighted underlined spec sheets with all my adding and subtracting with interest and finance terms scribbled on it. finnally i can use the beauty of technology.

The pessimist in me says the configurator probably won't be ready yet.

i like the lowered stance on both the MC and MCS in the configurator and some of the wallpapers and images around the site ...

I wonder if this is truely representative of the car now???

I like that Lightning Blue ... it's ace with some webspokes ...

I could be wrong, but I didn't see anywhere to barf out a pdf or print all the options/packages chosen???

I also tried to email myself with the email feature, and the link in the email just brought up a 404 on the mini site.
