yeah the mini cabrio/convertible!
extract..
At this year's shareholder meeting
on 15 May 2003, Dr. Panke, Director of the Board of BMW AG,
announced that the MINI family will be expanded by a MINI Cabrio.
This ends months of speculation about an open-top MINI variant.
MINI is responding to many customers' urgent calls for a MINI
Cabrio.
"The MINI brand is an important pillar of our premium brand
strategy and we are continuing with our investments. I can hereby
confirm that we will be expanding the MINI product range by a
four-seater cabrio with the aim of gaining new customers in the
open-top small car segment. The MINI Cabrio will become another
highlight in the success story of the MINI brand," is how Dr. Panke
explained the decision. The precise date when the MINI Cabrio will
become available to customers has not been announced
yet.
