The R56 JCW does seem to be a bit plain when compared to the GP (Okay it has a back seat....) but for 1k difference for a lot of out of the box parts and nothing really exclusive to that model - what are MINI thinking?

In the current enviroment MINI's are starting to look seriously overpriced and under specced in relation to the competition. We all got excited when they said the R56 was going to be cheaper to build - but what happened to those savings? were they passed onto the customers? methinks not.....

Maybe it's just getting way too expensive to build a small car (even a premium one) in Oxford?
