For all of you interested in my new Mini like I am, I just received this email from the new Mini website:


After months of the MINI Cooper being the sole object of desire, it will now be sharing the limelight with MINI One, the entry model of the MINI product range. The MINI One is enjoying its global premiere at the Geneva Motor Show today.

As it is in our virtual showroom! Visitors now have twice as much to feast their eyes on. We got the builders in to knock down a wall or two and to move a few things around. The enlarged showroom is now open to the public, offering a whole new range of things to discover and try out.

You don't have to make do with just admiring the paintwork and the wealth of exterior features and paintwork options offered by both models: open up the bonnet and witness the power and the glory of the 1.6 litre engine. It's also possible to get inside the car and see for yourself how technical data is so much more interesting when translated
into hard facts. Run your eye over the fascia, check out the safety features and, if you close your eyes and concentrate hard enough, you might even be able to detect that unmistakable smell of new upholstery!

If you can't make it to the Geneva Motor Show, just come to our online showroom, open 24/7 at

I also found an interesting Mini site, with both current and historical information:

How much is the new mini cooper supposed to cost in the US?

 

A fully loaded Mini 'S' is suppose to be less than $22k.
Cool little econo car.

 

John Cooper died earlier this year, I was shocked reading that in one of the car mags recently.

Godspeed John!

 

They say the Mini will start "under $18,000"
