Looks like the Countryman lead MINI to increase sale by 22.4% for January 2011 over January 2010 Hardtop sale were up 1.6% with 23 more sold on Jan '11 over Jan '10. Convertible sales were off 12.3%, down 31 units over last Jan, but with the weather we've seen in most major markets that is not a surprise. Who wants to by a 'vert with a foot of snow on the ground. The big loser is Clubman sales, off 174 units or down 33.8% over last January. You have to wonder how many of those lost out to the Countryman. The Countryman sold 686 units, it will be interesting to see how that pace holds up over the next few months.
Would have been less on the Countryman, if they could have got them out of the VDC in December for Xmas delivery, just Say'n. Overall good results, I don't expect the Clubman to be around in 2 years. Don
