We so want the MINI Cooper SD in the States. Here's just a small taste of Martin Love's car review for The Guardian/Observer,
In the meantime Mini has popped out the Cooper SD – a car blessed with the biggest engine in the company's entire 52-year history. The unit, which will be available in all of Mini's body types – hatch, Clubman, Countryman and Coupe – is the same 2-litre single-turbo which stars in BMW's award-winning 118d. It churns out a blistering 141bhp yet coughs up a mere 114g/km of CO2 (it will cost you just £30 in road tax) and it will blast you to 62mph in 8.1 seconds. So much power coupled with the car's much-loved, sure-footed, go-kart handling is startling – and furiously addictive. Addictive enough to help Mini towards its next million-car milestone.
