Check out the link to the Chicago Auto Show, opening on Friday to the public:

I was looking around the show using the live cams avail, and can see at least a handful of Coopers and Cooper S on display:

Cooper S - red, white roof and sunroof
Cooper S - charcoal, black roof, sunroof
Cooper S - yellow, black roof, sunroof
Cooper S - silver, black roof
Cooper - either blue or green, white roof.

The MINI exhibit is located near M-B, VW, and Porsche, as a point of reference.

Hi RJ,

Don't worry, I'll be viewing those vehicles this Friday when the doors to the autoshow open (12 Noontime). And just in case you can't make it to the autoshow and you miss the chance to see a MINI Cooper in person, the BMW regional office in Shaumburg,IL has a silver/black Cooper in their parking lot (saw it over the weekend and forgot how good this car looks in person--but it's pretty small in American terms)......
