[Spridgets] New Mini Roadster

[Jay]

Whether you like the car or not (and I don't), the Countryman is to appeal to 
someone wanting a vehicle in the MINI family with more room.

IMO, the Coupe and now this additional roadster are unnecessary.

For me, the appeal of the MINI was that it is sporty, a gas to drive, and is 
practical, i.e. has a back seat and room to transport what I need to carry with 
me around town or on a trip. 


Of course, if I had the need for a vehicle to transport everything I own, 
everywhere I go, it wouldn't fit that same definition of "practical".

I have a Clubman S and I love it, but I fail to see the need for a "Roadster" 
when they have a convertible already. And I fail to see what the hell the 
Countryman is really supposed to be.
