#41 of 2671 Nooooo, not a Chrysler! by stefokm May 22, 2001 (7:12 am)
I can't believe it! BMW put a Chrysler engine in the MINI. Why would they do such a thing? They just popped a very big balloon for me. You can read a review of the Mini in the UK magazine site: http://www.whatcar.com Kevin

#45 of 2671 Mini at a Car Show by Cooper Jun 03, 2001 (2:38 pm)
Just back from the British car show at the Red Mill in Clinton, NJ. They had a NY Auto Show car there. It was great, and you could play with it (i.e., it was unlocked). The young gentleman from BMW, Mr. Christian Schlager, did a great job, and he didn't get a chance all day to catch his breath. The the car drew that much attention. It looks great in person.
#46 of 2671 WooHoo! by qbrozen Jun 15, 2001 (3:10 pm)
Finally! The dealers are announced! http://www.miniusa.com/en/dealerlocator.jsp
#47 of 2671 About time, no? by tommyp13 Jun 17, 2001 (6:16 pm)
I'm calling one tomorrow to find out how far behind I am. I talked to a couple of dealers in Jersey: Park Ave (not getting one, though they kept on telling me that they should get one), and Prestige in Ramesy. They are a dealer, and will be getting my call at 9:01 tomorrow. Anyone know if the S will be available in March as well?
#48 of 2671 Yes! by qbrozen Jun 18, 2001 (7:01 am)
They are claiming that the S will be available right along with the standard Mini. Another Woohoo! Surprisingly, I just read (i think in Autoweek) that production of the new Mini started this past March in order to have them to ship next March. I hope that means there will be plenty to go around.
#49 of 2671 Nope - don't forget about early intro in UK and EU by tommyp13 Jun 18, 2001 (1:17 pm)
In 3 short weeks, the Mini goes on sale in the UK, that's why production is already going on. From what I've read, the S won't be introduced until the time that we get them here, so we won't have the ability to see how well the S goes over there before buying here, like you will be able to do with the base Cooper.
#50 of 2671 hmmmmm.... by qbrozen Jun 18, 2001 (6:15 pm)
didn't know that. I guess, if anything, the article could be a little misleading in that, yes, they are merely producing cars and they are all intended for the UK. The US ones not even being made until a later date. Suppose that makes sense. Now you've got me worried again that there won't be enough to go around. Thanks Alot! Frankly, I don't care how well the S is received, I only want to see some performance numbers. I'm sure one will be around for testing in the not-to-distant future. But, more than anything, I just want to SIT in one. Has anybody here done that? Does anybody know where I might be able to do that sometime before the car is released? My biggest concern is being able to fit, performance is my second concern. If the Mini S can satisfy me in both categories, I will want one.
