    This.

    Remember, MINI does not sell cars directly to consumers. Rather they sell them to independent dealerships. So this story just means that the allocations have been allocated (if the story is even correct).

    I think if I was an original GP owner I would want to keep the original and not trade it for a new red headed stepchild version.

    Thats just me, remember newer is not always better.

    I figured since no price was released that it wasn't available yet

    I have a 2006 GP and would have thought I would get a call from the dealer asking if I wanted to upgrade to a 2013 GP. No call yet. Maybe there is no need for the dealers to look for customers but it would make sense to first offer the new GP to your previous GP customers.

    It may not be so much that they are "sold out" just that all of the dealers have spoken for them to sell on their lot..

    I understand that a total of 2000 will be built and approx 500 will be available in the US. Original GP owners and those on record of now having an original GP will get first crack at buying the new GPII. After that its first come, first served. If you own an original GP and want to buy the new JCW GPII, call your dealer now!

    I know there were at least 3 at MINI of Portland the other day, they have 2 2006 GP's as well. I spoke to the president of the Puget Sound MINI Club today and he already has his.
