Mainly because of the Blue and White Roundel and not the wings...
I've had two minis in my life, 2006 and a 2011. Still to this day a vast majority of Americans have no idea Mini is owned by BMW.
It's all about the brand, nobody cares what they can get and for what. If it has a German badge they feel rich.
I've been to a few Cars and Coffees, the cockiness of the guys (and gals) driving the CLA is astonishing. |
Same here buddy my mom has a 2003 Cooper 5 speed and later a 2010 Cooper S Mayfair and they were both great. Albeit the turbo mini was a bit of a pain but the Og one was a lot of fun as well. People just don't understand like you said and would rather buy a Base 320 xJive just so they can have a blue and white badge. CLA owner are historical. |
The Cla 45 is a great all wheel drive car for everyday driving and I have both the CLA 45 and BMW m3 (e92) |
Yes but optioned out it runs close to 70k and that is a complete rip off. |
Actually 70k cheap! In Australia it's around $104,000 on the road
