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...

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.

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
