    The R59 continues to kill it percentage gain-wise (recognizing that the total number is only ~10 percent of the big four-door) and still besting the Paceman. :cornut:

    I wonder what the Hardtop and Clubman sales would be like in the absence of the R60?

    I guess that means that all of us that thinks MINI is going in the wrong direction design wise are wrong. OR everybody is rushing out to buy this years model before the next one comes out!!! :wink:

    One needs to look at MINIs figures against the overall market too.

    Six of the seven largest U.S. players posted double-digit sales gains for the month. They were led by a 21 percent increase at American Honda, which pushed the company past Chrysler Group by 1,337 units.

    With a 17 percent jump, Toyota Motor Sales outsold Ford Motor Co. by 314 units. That marked Toyota's first monthly win over Ford since March 2010.

    No. 1 GM gained 16 percent in July, its biggest percentage increase since January.

    Ford, Chrysler and Nissan North America all were up 11 percent.

    The industry's No. 6 player, Hyundai-Kia America, rose 5 percent. That was enough to maintain a narrow lead over Nissan North America for the month and year to date.

    Volkswagen Group of America increased 2 percent. Growth at the premium Porsche, Audi and Bentley brands offset a 3 percent decline for the VW brand.

    As we can see from the above most all Auto Makers had very good July 2013 sales. MINI at only 1.6% is not that strong when the overall sales picture is taken into consideration.
