    I understand that sales are currently down and you are claiming that the F56 will result in them staying down. I think Mark made a good point in his review that even though the "enthusiast" might not buy it, it will still be a big seller (which is what it seems that Jim believes as well). So what exactly am I missing. Being ugly to an enthusiast doesn't equal poor sales.

    Key words: all MINI owners.
    The owners are all welcome, its just the car that is ugly.

    ..... Also we were talking about eyelashes.

    Ok a Camry is a 4 door car, cheap for what it is and is bulletproof quality built.

    Any MINI or BMW is not a bulletproof quality built car and they are overpriced for what you get.

    People read crap like consumer reports and will buy a Ford Focus or other cars that are more appealing to the eye and better built.

    Guess the 2015 will be delayed....
    MotoringFile » Archive » EPA Certification Delays Delivery of 2015 F56 MINIs in the US

    So much for a smooth introduction....
    think the NSA spying on the Germans and the Germans complaing has something to do with certification "issues"?
