Fairly expensive if you ask me for a $50K MINI Cooper. 

Then again, the Rolls Royce Phantom is expensive.  But worth it.  The best part of the Phantom is the sofa of a back seat that is the perfect place for friends to collude, talk, and be merry together just like they do in a living room.  The all flat couch cushion is just not found in any other car, and it makes the Rolls Royce Phantom a truly special car.  Some people do the "Theatre Configuration" with two individual rear seats (a la Maybach) but that'd be missing the point.  That'd make the Rolls Royce a work car, when it's so much better as a car to share with friends and family.  Who wants to be separated from their friends and family that they're going out together with?  I understand some customers want their cars outfitted that way, but the rear couch in the Phantom is the piece de resistance, and the people who have the "Theatre Configuration" are tuning their Phantom to a different lifestyle.

What you guys think of this MINI Countryman Park Lane which made its world premiere at the 2015 Geneva International Motor Show? 4 engine variants will be available starting July 2015. Below are the press pictures. Cheers, Anthony...

Rather than a snowboarder for a car named the Park lane. Bull

Agreed Bill!

But apparently they're saving the suited guy for the MINI SAVILE ROW. Did you see the MINI GOODWOOD edition? Made with materials supplied from the Rolls-Royce Motor Car factory in Goodwood.

What does the Park Lane signify? A sporting llifestyle? A snow-sports lifestyle? Park Lane, ambivalence...

Time for a model-platform change...

I leased a countryman for 4 years and it was a pleasant, unique, but unrefined car. It needs to be updated to provide it's fun handling with better wheel control and rise quality. Still looks cool, though.

Good to know!
