2004 Mini Convertible

http://www.thecarconnection.com/inde...&sid=178&n=156

After its successful introduction into the market, the Mini Cooper may be ready to sprout a convertible variant. The too-cute cabrio is scheduled to hit European roads as early as the summer of 2003. Dealerships here in the States are hoping the cabrio will arrive before the 2004 model year ends. The engine range is expected to remain the same as the current models — normally aspirated and supercharged fours.

Convertable mini? might have an appeal to the younger folk that often like the v-dub convertables. The middle class prep gal car. Probably would sell in so cal.

BMW can't build a toaster for what a neon costs.
