 We (as a mini dealer) are not competing with the Fiat.  Complete fit and finish, and drive settles everything.  Thats to be expected of a premium small car, and MINI's pricing is way more than a FIAT.

  yea after freight and pdi, but i was comparing base costs. Yes, Mini wouldn't compare themselves to the Fiat, but i'm sure that's not how Fiat feels, realistically Mini doesn't have competitors who else makes a nice small car like that? no one 
but Fiat's coming out with something similar that's obviously less refined and cheaper, but you can't deny the similarities
