I think you either feel the love or you just think it's cute. Given the supply of the car, I think there are plenty of folks around the world that feel the love enough to keep MINI alive and growing. I don't see this car as a flash in the pan…

This is the first I've seen that BMW [b]is[/b] going to bring the 1-Series to the US, starting in 2007; all the prior traffic I'd seen had them denying it.

I wouldn't say the sucess of the MINI was a total suprise. If you think about the pre-MINI car market, of course bigger was better, because anything that was small was also designed to be cheap. The MINI really showed the US market what most other markets already knew.
