Boston Herald Heralds The Countryman As Cool
The Boston Herald put together a list of "Cars for Cool Customers" and included the MINI Cooper Countryman and says:
Mini Cooper Countryman ($33,700) — Automotive analysts are slotting the Countryman into the trendy “crossover” category. If that’s the case, against middle-of-the-road rides like the Honda CR-V or the Toyota RAV4, this is by far the coolest choice. With a little more room (about a foot longer and half a foot wider than the Mini), the Countryman adds utility yet retains the nifty styling of the original. These cars are built by BMW, so have some peppy ride and handling features.
