    Interesting spin.

    It's not pretty, but if you squint and hold your head just so, it looks alright.

    MF's connection to MINI/BMW is strong... Very strong....

    If you can't squeeze anything positive out of the numbers.... Go with association...

    We are almost as good as Subaru..... And we beat the pants off of Scion....

    Did you guy's see how we killed Scion...

    We sure showed Scion....

    We ruled Scion....

    We are on a roll.... We will kill Scion again next month guys...

    We are putting major hurt on Scion....

    Wut's the matter Scion... Y U so sad.... No one buying your sad little Scion cars...HAHAHAHA

    I can't wait until next year, when the MF fan boys are able to announce monthly sales comparisons against this positively sh*tty year of monthly sales figures. Any increase over next to nothing is likely to seem absolutely enormous. The spin will be even more ridiculous. :frown2:

    Gabe is a BMW guy. It's no wonder he's getting a woody over the fact that the new MINIs are just additions to the existing BMW model lineup.

    -3.3% for MINI was actually the brightest spot for BMW North America — it was down 18.4% for BMW!

    Note that 4 door cars are now 70% of MINI USA sales. It will go even higher with the new Countryman.
