Globe and Mail: A green machine with pizzazz
The 2007 Mini Cooper is fuel-efficient, decently quick, practical and compact enough to park almost anywhere in the city.
It’s also a green machine with pizzazz. With the manual six-speed transmission, the Mini qualifies for a $1,000 ecoAuto rebate from the federal government. In real terms, that takes the base price down from $25,900 to $24,900.

The MINI Clubman in action
It’s not official yet, but the 2008 MINI Clubman S is about as close to production as you can get without an official auto show debut. We’ve seen auto show concepts and more prototypes than we can count, but this is spy video of the turbocharged Clubman S making time on the Nürburgring.
