Call me impatient, but MINIUSA has yet to update the website with the new 2005 MINI info that was supposed to debut yesterday. I, along with countless others have been waiting several months to see pricing, options, and such set up in the MINI configurator. Come on MINI USA, catch up with your deadlines or don't make publicy announced dates you can't meet. I personally was checking early morning on July 1. I feel a bit like the guy on the Cheerwine commercials, but I know someone out there is feeling my pain....

It's a bit annoying but check with your local Mini dealer and they will get you the up-to-date pricing.

You talk about delays, we can still choose Silk Green on mini.com.au

You have to wait atleast 2 months to get a MINI in the U.S. So I figure that it should take them atleast 2 months to update the site. Design the software, put it on a boat to cross the pond. Its 4-5 weeks for the boat ride alone. So look for the site update in Sept.

Your logic would work, except that mini.com updated with the July 1 specifications I believe in April. So miniusa has taken about as long as your estimate from the first publically available info.

They're just pitifully slow, and we can't do anything about it.

BOAT??? Come on what century are we in? MINI itself should be able to update it w/out telling MINI USA... if not they should ship it via plane or even better thru the internet back bone

None the less we want to know the updates...

Wait Motoring file said the inside source said cool features... cool features for what? the car or the Configuator?

All be in awe of Magic 8 ball.
