No idea, Paul, but perhaps it's a market timing thing? I would personally like a bit more grunt than a standard Cooper, but the S is just a bit beyond my needs (if not my desires!). The Peugeot 308 I mentioned appears to have the same turbo motor as the S, but clearly detuned to reduce power and improve (I presume) environmental credentials like fuel economy and CO2 - getting to be a big factor in the car taxation stakes.

Then again, I suppose if MINI brought out a detuned S, then the after-market ECU re-mappers would have a field day.....!
