Probably at the same do as Edmunds.com........

No real new information except they continue to say it will have a £35k price for the base car .... which is not encouraging.

Plus it has power and performance of Mini Cooper S - which should be good. They give the car 4 stars out of 5.

Info picked up from the press release.

Enhanced Sat Nav - i.e. the one that takes into consideration road conditions - an option - I was surprised.

Heat Exchanger heater .... an option - even more surprised! ....... the base price better be LOW. ..... I didn't think I would have to tick an option box to get an energy efficient heater!

60,000 mile warranty on the battery - very disappointed - that says to me they have done the bare minimum - I bet you bottom dollar the US warranty will be longer.
That does not say to me they trust their own product.
We'll have to wait and see the wording but it doesn't fill me with confidence.
