<p>ver interesting … hatch and convertible both down but Clubman up?!? … that’s surely a first.</p>
<p>Who cares! This is not a forum of shareholders, and those that may be invested should discuss business elsewhere presuming that this forum is not actually a pretext to pander for BMW. From what I’ve read over the past few weeks, responsible moderation is failing miserably. </p>
<p> People like to associate with successful people. People don’t generally like to associate with unsuccessful people. The same goes for brands. I find it reassuring that MINI is still growing as a brand. This means that when purchasing a MINI, I can expect it to be backed up by a financially healthy company. If MINI is doing poorly I would be more concerned about sinking $20-30k on a new MINI. For example, I wouldn’t consider buying a new SAAB at this point.</p>
<p>Ridiculous comment! Buy a Saab and subscription to Barron’s.</p>
<p>A successful company like BMW/MINI/Rolls Royce depends heavily upon its sales to generate profit to reinvest in future product development. This translates into a better driving experience. </p>
<p>Bubbles sometimes grow until they burst. Possible that the MINI bubble may pop if models keep getting bigger and bigger and less and less MINI. In other words — too many fat cars may produce slimmer profits in the long run. Then again, they may not. Never relied much on Baccarat balls.</p>
