I think BMW is afraid it would cannibalize Mini sales, but I am proof it will not. I do not want a Mini, I want a BMW 1-series hatch with a stick.
Could not agree with you more. How should we get other like minded buyers together and communicate this to BMWNA? Would love to change their mind. I'm ready to put money down to order one.

I also love MINIs. I've owned an 02 MCS and it was a great car. I own a E90 328 sedan now. But a MINI won't meet my needs this time around. Neither will a current 3 series (too big) and I don't want an X1. Prefer a BMW and a 1 series RWD hatch. I'll get FWD hatch if the 1 series isn't available but it won't be a MINI. So that means I go to a competitor and BMW looses me as a customer.
