In a recent review, the NYTimes.com had this to say about the new Cooper convertible,
“At a time when automakers seem to be trying to out-mileage, out-incentive and out-downsize one-another, BMW’s Mini subsidiary has taken a different tack. Its updated 2009 convertibles are equipped with an Open-o-meter gauge on the left side of the dashboard. This keeps track of how many hours of motoring you do with the top down. A fun meter, if you will.”
MINI of Peabody invites all Massachusetts residents to experience the first look at the new 2009 convertible at their Patriot’s Day BBQ event in honor of its arrival.
