MINI may not have raised the base price, but the option price increases are going to hurt anyone looking for a loaded up MCC or MCSC.

I wonder if the same price hikes are going to be seen in the hardtops??? If so, it makes sense to grab a 2007 while you still can.

Why would anybody even bother if they were patient they would be rewarded with a new nu MINI in about a year or less? Hard to think - One of my last post got shot into some other galaxy because I called Mocha chocklate Clubman a less desirable word? Does anybody else besides me think all the mini colors are getting tired and outdated? I plan on getting a Clubman at some point but I'm having trouble because it's nu but It's colors have been over used to death. I don't want to see my cars color all the time- Am I right?</p> ummmmmmm. Why would anybody even bother if they were patient they would be rewarded with a new nu MINI in about a year or less?
