| It is going to happen!!! BMW would never build new showrooms and service centers with the intent of offering two versions of one car only. That would be like VW making seperate showrooms for the bug. MINI is the brand and they will surely have other models to market under the MINI brand. Look at Saturn when they came out they had one car with only a couple of different trims. Now they have seperate lines and even an SUV (VUE, sorry) As for the microbus VW has a prototype and is thinking about proucing it (in the 30k range) Would there be a market for a very small van? In Europe Opel has a vehicle by the name of the Agilla(sp), any comments to how well it sells over there? ![]() |

| My dad called me last night, and told me that he read that because of the unexpected popularity of the MINI, BMW will reach break-even on it much sooner than they expected. Part of the speed in reaching break-even is that more people are ordering high-margin options (like the Cooper S, and Sport Pkg, etc). So variants like a convertible, SUV, Pickup, etc. are being actively considered. Chip H. ex-MINI Cooper S owner and all around good-guy |

| The gas tank flap is on the other side! Because moving the flap requires new federal safety tests, either BMW is really serious about this, or it's a photoshop'ed image after all. Not real keen on the chrome "ski" bar on the back. Should be diamond plate on the tailgate for a more serious look. Chip H. ex-MINI Cooper S owner and all around good-guy |
