This year MINI will axe the MINI-E. MINI Communication Manager Nathalie Bauters told autoblog "it was for research" so don't expect it to be sold. In other news Bauters said the production Coupe "will go on sale in the fall, probably as a 2012 model year. The Roadster will come six months later as a 2012 or 2013 model."
