Demise Of Coupe, Roadster And Paceman Exaggerated

Carscoops reports BMW sales chief Ian Robertson has dismissed the reports about Mini axing its range, stating, "I have no idea where that has come from".

BMW MINI Board Member Peter Schwarzenbauer said the new modular platform for front-wheel drive car could actually lead to the development and production of an even wider range of MINI models.

Schwarzenbauer advised the business model for the Roadster is difficult due to low sales volumes.  However, Schwarzenauer indicated that the next generation Roadster might come from a co-venture with Toyota.
