    I think reliability concerns from the general public have come home to roost.

    Nope, it was all the F56 spy pics that did it.

    Yes MINIs secret of carp reliability has come home to roost for sure.

    I would have thought those F56 pictures would have had folks running to snap up the last of the R56 MINIs.

    Sorry but it looks like the new butt ugly F'56 will not be MINI's homecoming queen but more like Carrie.

    Good luck MINI you are going to need it.

    The numbers are skewed because it looks like MINI USA reported some (all?) of some models to be reported as "sold" to dealerships. That's why you see strange spikes in earlier months. Probably a year-end accounting and inventory adjustment of some sort.
