If the oxford plant made 3000 Convertibles a big portion of that number had to be taken out the Cooper hardtop sales, right?

Is MiniUsa going to bring fewer of its least profitable model (cooper hardtop) to make room for it most profitable model (Cooper convertible)?

Today is August 10th and according to my MA, today is the ETA for my MINI to arrive at the port in NJ. He said it is also plus or minus 2 days for the actual arrival date. That said, he then mentioned there is maybe 1 to 3 days through customs, etc and then 2 to 3 days for it to travel by truck to Chicago where I am (dealer is in the 'burbs though). So likely the week of the 16th for delivery (that's next week!). :o) So 3 to 4 weeks "robert" is probably pretty dead on from my own experience thus far. I ordered my MCS on June 14th if that helps anyone also. Oh, finally, my MA also said that the wait for a new MCS (I think it was just MCS, can't recall if he said MINI's in general or not), was 14 weeks now. When I ordered mine in June, it was 8 to 10 weeks.</p> My MCS was built on July 23rd. Today is August 10th and according to my MA, today is the ETA for my MINI to arrive at the port in NJ.

Im sure it is because MINIUSA has not updated it. I have heard once your MINI is built it takes about 3-4 before your delaer gets it. I have a feeling it may take a little longer with all the changes going on..:(...sure wish I had mine...want it sooo bad!! (my very first Mini!)</p> I have my Mini S still showing that it is awaiting transport for over a week now. Im sure it is because MINIUSA has not updated it.
