The last new Couple was sold last month.
 
On a different forum they showed no Coupe or Roadster sales in the US, so maybe there are no more 2015 cars left at dealerships. Boy the new Clubman is selling like crazy though. I"ll stick with what I've got for awhile. I almost bought an F56 in 2014 though. Glad I got the JCW.

End of an era...and the beginning of the lifespan of the diaspora.

Yea, its sad :( but hopefully down the road we get something like the Superleggera concept. Clubman is the new Countryman...well until the new F60 lands at the dealers. LORDVDR do you know when your getting a Demo one or has any of the NYC / NJ execs stopped by with one?

We just got pricing for the new Countryman. It's going to be a VERY big seller for us. Even though it's the biggest MINI ever...it's also the most advanced thing we've ever made.

Hopefully we get one of these bad boys either by the new year or just after.

If we get one here...TRUST ME...I'll be taking pics like crazy and posting them.

ok, cool. Sometimes the exec from nj/nyc putt around in one of the pre-productions. I seen them from time to time.

You literally would be the first person to find out if I knew ANYTHING. :thumbsup:

gahh, the whole reason I bought my Coupe was because it was small... I realize us Coupe owners are the vast minority, but is there any chance they'll make a smaller MINI in the next... say, 5 years or so? The new cars are really nice, but I'm a small-car guy :(

The Coupe/Roadster are actually about the same size as the Gen 2 hatchback. Same frame, length, width. What makes it look smaller is the steeper rake of the A pillar and C pillar results in a much smaller roof. The HB roof and side windows are big rectangles. The Couple doesn't have a back side window at all. I seriously doubt Mini makes another 2 seater. They just didn't sell. Unfortunately the cars are getting bigger. I just hope they don't ruin the design like Fiat did with their 4 door 500 model. The 2 door I like, the 4 door is horrible looking.

Yeah, but it feels smaller! :razz:

We've been told there will be a dealer tour in January prior to the official launch.

I'll be sure to relay your opinion to my wife, can't wait to hear what she thinks of your car. Probably won't be able to get it past the censor algorithms here.

The Last ?2015 Coupe S purchased 12/18/2016
 
Just purchased a 2015 Coupe S with 908 miles. An apparent Demo car from Texas. It is my first MINI; I live in San Clemente, CA and have been looking for for one of these puppies for several months. It has the Sports and Cold Weather packages, auto with paddle shifters, HK sound, and it is a blast to drive. Will post pictures when I stop driving. WmEsq77

Congrats, should have been pretty loaded if it was a showroom demo?
