clubman...how are they selling?

[clyde]

And what are they going for?

With more frequent failures on the wagon, Mrs. Clyde is thinking about other things...

I don't know what they sell for, but I got behind one on the ride up to Lime Rock a couple of weeks ago.

From behind, it's small, just like a standard Mini, but you see those double doors and you know what it is right off.

It was fast, too - I decided to keep up so I could get a look at it from the side on the corners - we hit ridiculous speeds on one stretch - I had my top down and began imagining something decapitating me, like a deer or a bird, or a kid throwing a frisbee, so I slowed and let him go.

It was nice, spent about 20 minutes through the countryside tailing this thing.

Replace the wife.

No wait, a clubman is WAY cheaper.

we're sold out through end of July for the S and through end of August for the regular, if that is any indication.

translation: selling VERY well.

and but for some internet idiot who brags that he got under sticker, it's a tough proposition to get one at sticker, as far as i can tell.

There are a bunch of them on the lot at the nearby dealer, and I haven't seen one on the road yet (not even a test drive.)

Here in MINI Central, VA (aka Alexandria), I've seen a few--three or four?

It would be novel if a major metropolitan area like DC had a Mini dealer within an hour's drive.

If it did, I'd probably already have one. As it is, I'm having trouble committing half a day just to go test drive one.

Yeah, it's a huge PITA, though (knock wood) mine hasn't had to go back since we picked it up in October, and Sterling gives loaners

Didn't BMW of Arlington originally have a Mini dealership?

I can't understand why there isn't one in some close-in urban location in DC to sell to all of the city-dwelling potential Mini buyers. I mean, Sterling is the land of the monster SUV not the tiny city car. It makes no sense, IMO.
