Leather? Sure. Nav? Sure. AC? Sure. Name any modern car (aside from perhaps a Tata) that doesn't have these as options... I do agree with the spirit of your comment though, Carso. I would love to see a production stripped-out Cooper S. I just don't know that there's a whole lot of weight to pull out of there without sacrificing the things the US public "requires", which is kinda sad. Strip the AC? Yeah, that wouldn't fly. Rear seats? Maybe... Nav/stereo? How are customers supposed to find the nearest Starbucks for their morning mochafrappecafechinatte and listen to the latest Jack Johnson CD???

It's a tribute to old mini, which was nothing like this one: it was super simple. at least it's good looking I think that they would do better creating some superlight performance version instead of this packed with luxury toy.
