They are interesting figures. Not the MINI ones, but their other sales (especially of the X3 and the X5's) are absolutely terrible!

Has the large SUV market in the US died overnight?

It's such great a shame a cabrio just isn't practical for use (growing daughter, large-ish dog and, invariably, lots of luggage!), otherwise I'd be urgently looking to spec a nice new R52 MCS before the July '08 production deadline! It still feels like a great opportunity is slipping away though....
