Hey Folks!

Do you have a question about MINI that you'd like answered by the company's executives? Here's your chance. AutoGuide staff will have a sit down with MINI USA boss Jim McDowell tomorrow at the Geneva Auto Show on the day the brand officially launches the Countryman.

Please post any question below that you might have about the brand, its future, future products or anything else that's on your mind. AutoGuide staff will then select from the questions and ask the man in charge at MINI USA. Thanks for your participation and we will post up a link to the resulting article. Cheers!

Hi,

With the Audi A1 coming into the market very soon, eventually there will be a S1 with a quattro system, is it possible that there will be a x-drive version of the mini? (i.e. 4 wheel drive R56)

Also the mini will need to start updating gearboxes! DSG i will be avaiable on both polo GTI and Audi A1 models. this will soon become industry standard. Any plans for current R56 models? or is it planned for the completely new model release?
