New US sales figures at Motoring File: http://www.motoringfile.com/2012/12/...r-2011-levels/

It seems that Roadster sales (2098 so far) have eaten into Convertible sales a bit, but the sum of both for this year is greater than last year's Convertible-only sales, so it's a net add overall.

Different story for the hardtop, sales of the R56 are up a little and if you add in Coupe sales it's up significantly.

Clubman sales are down, but more than made up for by increased Countryman sales.

 

Thanks for the post. I've been wondering how many Roadsters have been sold. When I got mine in August, my MA told me that maybe 15 had been sold in St. Louis up to that point.

 

Hmmm, the R59 is selling at Z4 and Audi TT levels. No one likes 2 seat sports cars anymore?

 

Nice info, also interesting numbers on the chart. Explains why I keep seeing so many Mustangs on the road. Ford is killing it.

That's a good source, thanks Mark!

Here's the same chart for November, shows the Roadster slightly outselling the Coupe:

 

Shucks, I was hoping that the sales would stay lower to make the Roadster a bit more rare. Still, 2,000 sales in a year is low in the scheme of things. Break that down to JCW Roadsters and I'll bet it gets a bit more rare. Oh well, they're all fun.

Should have seen the looks that I got this week in the blizzard snow that we had here in Iowa. Yes, I drove Lil Guy to work on Thursday, Friday for that matter too, and I was there with all the 4X4's in the company parking ramp. I will say this, the 13" of snow that I had on our street before the snow plows go out did make my Mini a bit like a snow plow, half way up the lower grille there was packed snow.
