Rocketman Not Dead Yet

Reports of the demise of the MINI Rocketman are premature according to a report in the Drive section of The Sydney Morning Herald. Rather, it says, MINI is "keeping its options open and its cards close to its chest over its ever-expanding model range."

According to Sven Grutzmacher, BMW Group press spokesman,

". . . there was never a decision whether we (would) build such a car or not. So nothing is changed on that front," he says. "So you cannot say the Rocketman is dead, or that the Rocketman is going to come into production because there has never been a decision."
