    Jim, it's called marketing, or hype. What was that word about dog and pony shows:confused5:

    Just went and looked it up, it's dog-and-pony show:crazy:

    If they are upgrading the plant, then they must know what it will look like, I would guess. Too bad we don't. Does it really make that much difference, springing a surprise at an auto show, rather then just showing the car from the get go? :frown5:

    MINI is never going to take over the automotive world, even with strong numbers, and I'm fine with that:Thumbsup:
