MINI USA has snuck the new Paceman into the Configurator, but you have to know where to look. Details after the break.
To access it, you have to start a configuration on any other MINI model and then switch to the Paceman. Voilà pure Paceman configuration. Give it a look, then share your spec in the comments below. Here’s our first take.
MotoringFile takes no responsibility for lost productivity in your work day due to time spent configuring a new Paceman!
<p>Thanks for the info. $38,000 even. With most options and packages minus navigation.</p>
<p>32K for a manual Cooper S model with a few carefully selected options and the honking big 19″ wheels.</p>
<p>I’m on my second MINI, a 2007 MCS, so I’m a fan of the brand, but I can only hope the Paceman looks better in the flesh than on the screen. And the color choices don’t help: boring boring boring. And why oh why does every color have be metallic? Metallic is no longer unique; hell, half the cars on the road seem to be some variant of metallic grey.</p>
<p>Gaston, I agree with you in principal but look around you in traffic: white, black, grey. It’s what people buy and if you are a dealer or manufacturer that’s what you make. Personally I think the blue with white top looks fantastic.</p>
<p>vuala? Perhaps you mean voila`. Sorry, I’m an English teacher.</p>
<p>Still better than “wala” or “ouala”. And you meant “voilà”, of course. Sorry, I’m French ;)</p>
<p>The configurator shows runflats as optional (you can toggle them on/off). I assume that is a mistake? Back to building now…</p>
<p>Since the Countryman has been dinged for its hard as nails ride in many reviews (including motoringfile), maybe Mini has decided to make a change.</p>
<p>It’s been 2 years that runflats are optional in Europe</p>
<p>it’s still a little buggy – if you switch trans types, the image of the top of the manual shifter remains when the auto shifter is drawn… the seats don’t render properly, and I don’t see any ‘sport stripes’ (the center stripes) in the options – I’m sure they’re still working it out before it goes fully live</p>
<p>Under 25K for my basic Justa in Starlight Blue.</p>
<p>Sorry messed up that link from an earlier comment. It’s live on the mini USA website now.</p>
