At the recent announcement that BMW will be investing £500 mil ($800mil US) in the UK for MINI production BMW Group President Norbert Reithofer suggested there could be 10 models in the MINI line. We have 4 right now: Hardtop Convertible Clubman Countryman We know 2 more are imminent: Coupé Roadster In couched terms they speak of another 2 on the way in 2013/2014 Paceman Rocketman That brings us to 8. Care to speculate how MINI might expand this line to 10? Do you see this as a good thing or not?
I have no problem with it, as it offers "something for everyone", so we can still get the car we want. I saw more folks at the local dealership the other day, then I have in the past and everyone of them was looking at the Countryman. As has been said before, there were a lot of models offered, back in the early days of the Mini. Jim
I see it as a good thing too. If BMW didn't expand the MINI line, then it may not make it. The MINI before was a small market. Now it appeals to a lot more consumers. We just don't have to buy the ones we don't like :cornut:
I could see one more on either end of the spectrum, a MINI city car that's a 2 seater and a MINI-van, something on the order of the C-Max, only MINI sized.....
I like the idea of a pick-up style. But based on the size of a Clubman. It would look more like the classic pick-ups! 1980 Classic Mini Pick-up for sale in Dorset. Mini-Exchange.com - more Classic Minis for sale here
