Good article on the Mini and Cooper cars made by BMW

[Azwed]

I know I am not the only one here that likes this little car and I ran across this article at www.minicooperonline.com


http://www.ai-online.com/articles/0402/coverstory.asp

The article looks at the car form a engineering/marketing perspective. Rasta will be happy to note that they are planning to make a Cabrio version in a couple of years.

Hey Azwed...

Took my look at the Mini

I didn't test drive one because BMW employees are snobs

Cute cars..

Yeah they are. I have heard lots and lots of complaints about the BMW employess from people. Several people have complained about that and the price gouging at the mincooper site.

Yeah.. the scrawny hip bone sticking out blonde bimbos with the skin tight "Mini" shirts pissed me off. They wouldn't even talk to me. I guess I didn't fit the bill for the kind of person who could afford to buy a car that cost less than the Maxima I drove into the lot.

The price for the mid range model Cooper S was.. $27,000. Fully loaded was just below $30,000. My fully loaded Maxima was $32,000.

Oh well.. *shrugs* they won't ever get my business again.

Hey now my gf is all that exept for the bimbo part

Wow they are really gouging people. You should not be able to hit $27,000 with every avaliable option on the cooper S.

Your girlfriend doesn't sell Minis does she?

They are overpriced because they are something "new". Like I said.. they are cute cars. But not worth the money at all. In a few years they will drop in price. Or we will be able to pick them up at the used car lots.. a dime a dozen By then no one will want one because everyone has had one

Heheh no she works at Vicky's so she sells lingere.

I won't be buying one for at least 18 months so hopefuly the price will drop some by then.

How big of a guy are you?

Mr Freaky is 5'10" and about 190lbs.. He said today that the seats aren't all that comfortable. Said they felt small to him. I found there was quit abit of room but the seats are narrow. So if you are broad shouldered you might not be comfortable in it.

I was amazed at the amount of room in them though. They aren't as small as I first thought.
