    So 150 total units are going to turn the company's fortunes around ?? Interesting ... Very interesting indeed.

    Why a special edition? I have never seen a car brand with so many special editions. The sad thing is there is nothing really special about the majority of them, it is usually all cosmetic and they’re usually pretty freaking ugly.:prrr:

    Why only in Japan? My experience in Japan did not lend itself to driving big vehicles. The Countryman isn’t huge but I would consider it a road hog over there, definitely not the average size vehicle. A lot of side streets around the cities are as about as wide as a single lane here.

    IMO MINI needs to stop wasting time and build the Rocketman!
