I was watching Car and Driver TV this afternoon, and they had some cool pics of the S. Unfortunately, at the very end, they said, "they will be available towrards the end of 2002." That totally sucks! In case you don't know, it's a show here in the Colonies, based off the magazine. Good info, but pretty cheezy presentation.

Also, went to local BMW dealer, just for giggles. The first salesperson didn't know what a Mini is, and the second said that the owner keeps information to himself, and hasn't told anyone anything about the possible dealership. They both shared a blank stare after I told them that many dealerships throughout the US are telling customers whether or not they are going to be dealerships, with many taking deposits already. I would have liked to have shot them both.

Are we sure that the 3 Stooges aren't in charge of US Mini operations?
