There were some in the Washington Post classifieds this weekend. One was priced at $32k. Hah! People are silly. : )

But so far the two dealers we have are holding the price to full list, no surcharges. Particularly with the Mini S, when you start looking around at other cars you can get for the same price, you have to decide you REALLY want that Mini. I read in one of the major car magazines (Autoweek?) that the Mini is the first car that was designed specifically with gays in mind, for whatever that is worth. I think they meant not that it was targeted at gays, but that they expect gays to be a large part of their market for this car, so they fashioned the interior accordingly. Discounting that last piece of speculation, I figure there will be three major buying groups. You'll have the group that just has to have the latest cute thing, the same ones that jumped on the New Beetle and the PT Cruiser. Then you'll have the group that had a Mini or a derivative 30 - 40 years ago and have been waiting for the chance to have another. Then you'll have the driving enthusiasts who are salivating over the high power to weight ratio and the very low center of gravity. I expect you will see a lot of customization with this car - fat wheels and tires, trick body pieces, fog lamps, etc. I'm waiting to see my first one that has a British flag painted across the top.
