Good read. Thanks Pat

Nice find, Thanks Pat.

 

We don't need a two-door version of the Countryman. I hope one of those ten models is a MINI Pickup.

 

I agree and don't quite understand the "why".

 

It'd make a great WRC car!

 

"U.S. sales will continue to grow in 2012. ... It will remain our No. 1 market for now and in the medium term -- especially since we will be expanding our U.S. dealer network from 110 to 125 locations."

Some of us would love to have a dealer that's closer to home. Any news regarding where the "new dealers" might be?

 

I didn't see anything but the Mini web site may list them. You may just have to periodically check the web site.

Though I would assume they will be in the larger population areas. It seems like a pretty low number of new dealerships. They might sell more cars with more dealers. And with gas prices going up it seems the timing may be right.
