WAY:
A high powered version is coming in less than 12 months, so I am waiting for that...
High powered version of the Countryman ?
As far as I heard, the next engine on the table is the 143 hp Diesel engine. A JCW version isn't even on the table yet, Mini wants to take a look at initial sales figures first.
What I don't get is the version of the Countryman without AWD. Why would someone buy this over the "standard" Mini if it doesn't have AWD ?
I told my dealer that if Mini brings the Cooper S version with automatic tranny but without AWD, I won't go for it.
What I actually always wanted from Mini (and apparently there are others who are looking for the same): a Mini Cooper S with AWD, 300 hp and and additional weight of maximum 50 kg. For under 50000 EUR, this car would be amazing. Oh well...
