41%? WOW!
we really need an edit button…
44.1% WOW!
It’s too bad they don’t offer Silk Green on the R56. Sales would have been up more than 75%.
Go USA! Partially due to Gabe and MF readers. Well done Team!
That’s a huge freakin’ jump!?! Especially considering the stagnet state of the economy over the first week of 2008. US Dollar is in the toilet. Dow down another 200 points in the fist five minutes of trading today. Talks of a 1% interest rate drop over the next few months to encourage spending. Unemployment exceeding 5%. The “recession” word is being bantered about quite a bit.
But hellloooooo Clubman! I’m guessing that has to explain much of the jump. Is the breakdown availible somewhere? Ian’s site, perhaps?
Don’t forget that in December/January a year ago, the 2006 inventory was composed of final builds sent from the factory to keep cars on US dealers’ lots until the R56 came out in February. The R50/53 had completely ceased manufacture by this time last year.
Sales driven primarilly by the convertibles and the S.

Mini Sales USA since inception:
2002: 24,600
2003: 36,000
2004: 36,000
2005: 40,800
2006: 39,200
