Whitby. MINI Canada announced today that Jolly Old Saint Nick traded in his
sleigh and reindeer for a Chili Red MINI Cooper with SOHO package. With its red
body and contrasting white roof and mirror caps, Santa Claus and his new MINI
will look festive all year round.
The name MINI is deceiving; Santa has already released a statement that he can
fit hundreds of toys in his new MINI. The 50:50 rear split seats allows Santa
to optimize his storage space whether transporting big presents or little elves.
"I love my MINI Cooper," said Santa Claus. "Rudolf and the crew are getting old
and it was time to update my image in order to excite the older children about
Christmas again."
The SOHO package offers many standard features for Santa to enjoy. The heated
front seats and
Panorama glass sunroof allows he and Mrs. Clause to star gaze comfortably in
his MINI on the cold North Pole nights. The 16" Bridge Spoke Alloy Wheels with
All Season tires means that Father Christmas won't have any problems getting
around whether delivering presents in Whitehorse or St. John's.
Mrs. Claus is reassured knowing that Mr. Claus is safe traveling those long
hauls because he is covered by MINI Checkpoint no-charge 3 year/60,000 km
scheduled maintenance.
With an MSRP of $28,350 or $349 a month, 3.9% APR, $0 Down Payment and $0
Security Deposit on a 39 month lease term, Santa still has lots of money left
over to buy toys for all the little girls and boys.
