New Mini Coming!

[AprilWhine]

Mini has announced the third generation Cooper to be available in March. Of course, I already have one on order. 😉

Specs are impressive! Cooper gets 52 mpg, Cooper S gets 41 mpg and Cooper D is 67 mpg! These figures are from a UK site. For comparison, my Clubman gets around 40 mpg overall and my first generation MCS (the one with a supercharger) gets 27 mpg.

I posted a series of pictures showing installation of a Roadmaster baseplate on my 2008 Clubman, look for pictures of making my new Mini towable in the spring.


Edited to correct a typo in the conversion site I used.

I find those numbers very hard to believe. Where did you find this information? Are you sure it's not in kilometers?:@
