    When the F56 Carp Lips hit the scene.... That's when we'll see disturbing numbers...

    We do report on the sales numbers as they become available from BMW. Usually 1-2 days after the end of the month.

    This site has some pretty comprehensive data for all brands. Mini Brand Sales Figures - GOOD CAR BAD CAR

    Looks like many want to get in on the last of the Clubman.

    Just saw the sales report across the industry. In a nutshell sales were flat.

    Some winners were Jeep, up 43%, Subaru, up 22% and that Maserati Super Bowl ad looks to have paid off. Sales are up a whopping 325%

    Ford was off 7%, GM, 6%.

    Sales for the 4WD are up because of the weather...who's buying a MINI when we have snow.

    Wish I had garage space for 3 Mini's...I would seriously consider building a JCW Clubman.....I have seen the early pix of the next gen that Nathan posted, and wow, I really dislike it more than the F56.

    Winter 2013 was pretty mild on comparison to 2014.
    I'm guessing sales are down for a lot of automakers considering how hard the winter has been this year in the north and especially north central and east.
    - people not going out or being motivated.
    - people not wanting to wreck a brand new car.
    - people having additional expense, less money with heavy gas bills, house repairs, etc...
    - etc...

    I know I would never buy a car in February unless I live in the warm climate.

    It would be useful to know how much February account on average for the yearly total sale. If it is always smaller than other months than there is nothing to worry about...

    Any updates on this? I want to see how the 2015 sales are shaping up against 2014 & 2013.

    I don't know how you happened to pick out this old thread. Every manufacturer releases sales numbers every month. Just Google it.
