Worldwide MINI Sales up 20% for September
Official Release: The MINI brand experienced a strong growth of +20.5% in worldwide sales in September. With 30,387 (prev. yr. 25,221) deliveries, the brand reported its best September result ever. A major contributor was the new MINI Countryman which launched just over a year ago and has already been received by over 76,000 customers.
In the period up to and including September, MINI crossed the 200.000 mark with an increase of 24.1% in worldwide sales (208,216 / prev. yr. 167,752). The brand new MINI Coupé will hit the market this month in October and is expected to provide further momentum for the brand.
<p>So why is the US having a shortage of MINIs that has lead to a drop in sales in September?</p>
<p>Model year change over.</p>
<p>Better question, why can’t I build a Coupe with the color shown above? Can’t get a red roof with either the silver, white or grey body color</p>
<p>You should be able to get a red roof JCW with black, white and grey.</p>
<p>You are right. Just checked and saw that it’s a JCW option only. That jumps me from $32k to nearly $40k. Something I’m not sure I would want to spend on a MINI</p>
