As much as some may only be luke warm to the Traveller concept, I’m confident that MINI will pull through with the actual MK2 COOPER and COOPER S, and with the increased allocations, it will make the car more accessible to people who shyed away from the ’02-’06 MINIs because of the wait.

Ultimately I feel that more MINIs on the road is a positive thing. MINI is still mini when it comes to production. Even if the number of MINIs produced doubled from current levels, MINI would still be a small volume car company.

Maybe some of the dealerships will lower their prices because of it. But with the gas prices being what they are, I don't see that happening.</p> lol, Yeah I know.
