Two New Minis Coming from England

The BMW plant was forced to let 850 workers go earlier this year, but the new models in production, as well as the Mini Convertible and the Mini Clubman, are bringing people back to work.  The increase in production is also expected to create new jobs in addition to re-employing former workers.

The Mini Coupe will be making its debut in a few days at the Frankfurt Motor Show.  The second new model has not been unveiled.  It is believed to be a small SUV (possibly called the Countryman).  The vehicle may be produced by Magna in Austria.  Additional information will be available following the show in Frankfurt.
