    Get me one too, in Chartreuse. Spandex would be best.

    It's a shame, really.

    I like the sweater better than the car.

    So now you F56 haters can't think of anything else to complain about (especially since the early reviews have been generally favorable), so you're picking on a reviewer who has abnormally short arms? Shame on you! :biggrin5:

    Marketing, Nathan, marketing. I see this sweater, complete with a discrete, embroidered M/A logo on the left sleeve, as the latest addition to the M/A Store. :idea:

    I think the reviewer is a perfect example of who MINIs are targeted towards in the Europe. Same type of person who would buy items from the MINI/Puma Lifestyle collection. Not a Hipster (if he was he would be sporting MM-like facial hair), just an average 20-30 year old European.
