    Congratulations!
    If I didn't love my car so much I would be envious.
    As far as I know, all but the Countryman are built in Oxford, UK.
    Sometimes your VIN intially pulls up a car that doesn't fit the description of your car.
    This is because the VIN is assigned to a dealer and the info takes a few days to be changed to the specific car that you ordered.
    If you pull up a car that's not yours, contact your dealer, but don't be overly concerned.
    Not sure if I explained that correctly, but I know that some people have flipped when they see the strange car that their VIN pulls up but it's only because the system hasn't been updated.

    My 2013 is in production

    My 2013 roadster S is in paint scheduled to be completed on the 9th. I am now wondering how long till it hits stateside. I had to wait but I know it will be worth it. I am bummed about the 1200 increase and items I didn't want but will gladly take.

    Just curious, but how did you get items you did not want, if you ordered?

    2013 they made the semiautomatic top and windscreen standard so you didn't have a choice and they raised the price $1200 to cover it. You are correct upside of that I am getting exactly what I wanted and not soon enough.

    Last update: July 9th the production completes

    I am not aware of any major changes by rear do you mean astetically or performance? I believe neither has been changed.

    Oops. I didn't mean to type rear. Not sure why I did that... I meant was there any changes between the two years at all. Lol.

    Changes

    I am not aware of any changes besides the packages adding and removing items. If they worked a few of the initial issues then I will be happy with that.

    I was going to get a 2012 but my dealer said wait 3 weeks and you will get a 2013. I said heck yeah since this Will not be an everyday car according to my wife. After all the oodness i have read here well maybe it will be :)
