Price it under $20,000 so we can all afford one. Bring it on with the supercharged S! That would get me out of my GTI VR6!</p> As a young, working professional, male, I would be all over a 2 seater MINI Cabriolet in the USA. Price it under $20,000 so we can all afford one.

My dealer knows we will be the first ones in line for the wagon waiting list.</p> Yes, we will also jump all over the MINI Traveller wagon once MINI announces its release to production.

Even with the introduction of the Cabrio the US market may over take the UK market. Of course the US was initially only projected to support 20,000 cars and it looks like it could be double that this year alone. </p> <p>This all may sounds vaguely familiar to those following the saga of the 1 series in the US.</p> I've talked to someone at MINIUSA about this before.
