Mini Prices Rolls-Inspired Goodwood for America

When Mini debuted their Rolls Royce-inspired Mini Goodwood model, the news that it was rumoured to be a European-specific model may not have come as quite the blow you’d expect, given the vehicle’s price tag: over $68,000 USD (at the time). But, apparently Mini thinks that their uber-lux Mini might have a chance at grabbing some of the North American market, as the brand has decided to launch a 2012 version in America. However, recognizing the difference in perception between Europe and America, Mini has opted to lower the price of the Mini Goodwood slightly for the U.S. market, where small luxury vehicles still aren’t quite as well represented, nor respected, as their larger counterparts. However, lower doesn’t mean cheap, as rumours indicate a price tag of just over $52,000.
