Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, November 1, 2002 ... Edmunds.com has awarded the
MINI Cooper 'Most Wanted Coupe Under $25,000' in its list of Editors' Most
Wanted Vehicles for 2003. Edmunds.com's judges stated that MINI provides
"premium-car thrills at an economy-car price" and that with either the MINI
Cooper or the more powerful MINI Cooper S, buyers were getting a stylish and
detailed coupe that makes other cars seem surprisingly ordinary.
In their judging, editors vote for the "cars or trucks we would most want to
park in our garage," according to Karl Brauer, Editor-in Chief of Edmunds.com.
The award follows Edmunds.com voting the MINI Cooper 'Most Significant Vehicle
Of The Year' in the 2002 listings.
Jack Pitney, general manager of MINI USA said: "We are delighted that once
again Edmunds.com editors recognize MINI's offering of premium quality cars
with distinctive, exhilarating personality."
