Small cars rule in the USA? Who’d'a thunk it? Yeah, I know, us MINI nuts, that’s who. When Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, the British regimental drummers played a march, “The Day the World Turned Upside Down” – guess it’s our turn, now.

Could someone do the math on this and give me sales percentages so far for top markets other than UK. And it just goes to show that folks in the UK can make a quality product albeit with German quality controllers.

Wonder if this "structural shift" in US buying habits will get them to increase the number of planned dealerships here? Sure hope so.....

Congrats to the hard working folks in Oxford on a job well done! I’m pretty sure that the vast majority of us, the 1,000,000 past, present and soon-to-be MINI owners outside the UK appreciate the fine work and craftsmanship the auto workers in the UK have put into these cars.

that's the kind of car they put in the company museum!

Wish they would have given the specs of that millionth mini.
