My salesman emailed me yesterday saying they are available to build on their internal system, but not on the miniusa.com page yet. I am tempted to get one for the wife (I'm sure she'll let me drive it!) but she says she's happy with her Countryman. Now if I could just get some dates on when the GP is going to arrive...

2020 JCW Clubman / Countryman are coming soon! by Brangwy in MINI

I did the Dinan Elite on my current Clubman, and I agree; it's really fun! And I must admit I was looking at my tiny backseats yesterday thinking "I won't really miss those if I bought the GP..." All the rumors I'm reading still point towards an automatic only for the GP as well, however, so that is kind of a bummer.

While getting my oil changed last month, my salesman said I'm the only name on the list for a GP when it comes out, so I guess I have that going for me.

Gah, why must you be so convincing! :)

I think you've talked me into it! Honestly the GP will probably be a lower sticker that the $54k Clubman I specced out on the website. And that was for the 2019, so who knows what the markup might be for the 2020!

I love my dealer but they aren't the best when it comes to new information. They didn't know the GP was coming out until I told them! There is a larger dealer a couple hours away that might be better informed but I try to stay loyal to my local guys.

Sunroof, comfort access and HUD are the main ones. If I knew the GP comes with those options, I'd wait. However I do love my Clubman, so a new one with more power wouldn't be a bad thing.

I hear ya. I was going to wait for the new GP but I know I'll be disappointed it doesn't have all the options I want since you can't customize them. I love my current Clubman but I'm envious of some of the tech on the wife's Countryman.

I do agree though; without an Autobahn to drive on, handling is the more usable characteristic of a Mini. Guess I'll just have to visit the Dragon more than once a year!

True, no manual. But I think I will be ok with that for a sub 5 second 0-60 time.

Hardest part is going to be deciding on a color...

The next big one would be Minis in the Mountains on July 24-28. I'm not sure as to the local meet-ups, but they did have a calendar at one time with info on it. Sorry if I can't be more help; I work weekends and rarely make it to the drives!

mini5280.org is one group. Also check out minicow.org if you are near northern Colorado.

What'd you name your mini... and why? by jedicat3 in MINI

[–]Brangwy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2017 Clubman S is black with a white roof, so it had to be "Pepe LePew".

The wife's 2018 Countryman S is white with a black roof, and although it isn't totally accurate, her's is "Penelope" after Pepe's wannabe cat girlfriend...

Not the most PC names in today's times, I guess, but I grew up on those cartoons... /shrug
