all depends on price...if they are able to bring in an awd mini with a starting package of 24 grand...might be a big seller..especially with the turbo s...

I was very close to getting a Cooper S Coupe, but every time I drove it, I loved it, but just couldn't see myself in it...

I was really leaning towards a 135i coupe or a 335i sedan by the summer time but if the price is right, I might just test drive the mini.

they were saying roughly 150-175lbs..and when they did a test w/ a getrag test system, times around the track were roughly 10% faster, even with the added weight...
