Hi Sketcher

The Electric Blue is only avail. for the Cooper S. There is apparently going to be a new Blue coming with the 2004 models in Sep/October but nothing for sure yet.

You can get Automatic Mini Coopers, in fact thats what we have ordered, the Mini uses a really cool tranny called CVT, the new auto Minis will also come with paddle shifters. The CVT transmission though is 1290 CDN so you are looking at around 26k for a Mini Cooper with CVT and 27k if you want metalic paint.

The Mini is afew grand more than a Matrix, but, after seeing both in person and driving the MC, theres NO contest.

Good luck with whatever car you go with

James
