    Well seeing a Countryman up on the rack for the first time at the shop last weekend, looking at that allwheel drive......man sure would be nice to see if they eventually stick it into a small body car with some high HP. Next time we have one up there, we are going to do some measuring to see if there is a possibility of a transplant :drool

    Rumours from a very credible source has told me that dealers have already been given the OK to sell the new gp for up to $10k over sticker. $60k for a mini? i think not. that's exige territory.
