2015-2016 New Cards List For You (Part 28)
Mini Clubman
Base Price $22,500-$27,000*
Body Type Hatchback
All-new With the Hardtop redesign, a new Clubman
could arrive in the 2015 calendar year, though the four-door Hardtop model will
hit the streets sooner. Based on the Geneva Motor Show concept (pictured), the
next Clubman could be substantially bigger than the two-door Hardtop on which
it�s based. Expect the Clubman to use the new Hardtop's turbocharged 3- and
4-cylinder engines.
Look For A performance-oriented John Cooper Works
model.

Mini Coupe/Roadster
Base Price $22,850-$37,100
Body Type Coupe, convertible
Unchanged The quirky (even for a Mini) Coupe and
Roadster remain unchanged. With the arrival of the next-gen Cooper Hardtop,
these two-seat offshoots probably will adopt the new platform next year if the
niche models aren't discontinued. Changes include standard rain sensors and
auto climate control, and Anthracite dial color. LED foglights replace the
halogen lights, a $350 option on Coopers and standard on S and JCW models.
Look For Next-gen Coupe and Roadster next year.
Maybe.

Mini Hardtop/4-Door
Base Price $21,300-$29,550
Body Type Hatchback
All-new New for 2014, the Mini Hardtop provides more
of almost everything: more power, more technology, more cabin space, and even a
more colorful way for the interior to respond to specific commands. New goodies
on the options list include a head-up display and an automatic parking system.
Although Mini purists won't like that the Mini grew in size, they'll appreciate
how much more Mini there is to love.
Look For A new convertible and JCW version in the
near future.

Mitsubishi i-MiEV
Base Price $24,000*
Body Type Hatchback
Unchanged �More for less� is the model�s mantra this
year. Mitsubishi has dropped its price by more than $6000 since it first
arrived and expanded the standard features list to include heated front seats
and mirrors, rear speakers, leather-wrapped steering wheel and gearshift,
aluminum wheels, and daytime running lights. The i-MiEV is one of the cheapest
EVs you can buy; expect a redesigned model in the next couple of years.
Cool Fact More than 30,000 i-MiEVs have been sold
worldwide.
