Fun, costly and impractical – it’ll be a best seller

The new Mini Cooper S Mk2 convertible will be released in March although several may well escape early.
The car is destined to be as iconic as the Mk1 and is just the thing for our globally warmed climate. Key amongst the gadgets is the ‘Openometer’ dial which records how long you have driven with the roof down. You’ll need that information won’t you? What’s more the data is then stored to the trip computer so you can – er – do something with it later.
Power comes from a 1598cc turbo charged unit developing 175bhp which takes you from 0 – 62mph in 7.4 seconds. The price for all this madness? Just short of £19K. Are we mad? Course we are. Get one through car leasing and strut your stuff without forking out great lumps of cash.

Clubbing in ’09 – still fun but more practical and cheaper

A new entry-level model in the Clubman range goes on sale across Europe by the end of March. Called Clubman One the new model is powered by a 1.4-litre, four cylinder petrol engine producing 95HP. A short-shifting 6-speed manual transmission is standard, but buyers can also opt for a 6-speed auto with manual-shift capability.
The base Clubman achieves a combined fuel consumption figure of 52.3 mpg and prices in the UK have been set at £13,290 OTR. Equipped with a Brake Energy Regeneration system, Auto Start Stop and Shift Point Display as standard the new addition is certain to sell well under the continuing chique appeal of the Mini brand. Although not a traditional high volume car leasing choice, these straightened times could see this model become more popular in this market.

All–electric MINI E to be unveiled this month

BMW plans to unveil a new electrically-powered MINI E to the world later this month. As part of its first year strategy BMW will supply 500 of the new MINI E to North American drivers on a one year lease, after which the cars go back to BMW for comparative tests.
A lithium-ion battery will power the new mini to 62mph in just 8.2 seconds and on up to 95mph where a limiter will kick in. To house the battery for this performance the MINI E initially loses its two rear seats.
BMW Group aims to begin series production in the medium term of all-electric vehicles as part of the company’s Number ONE strategy.
Electricity looks set to be the future of sustainable and environmentally acceptable motoring and will almost certainly make a big impact on the car leasing market before long
