25 March 2011 - The 2011 MINI Countryman has been officially launched in Malaysia, completing the range of MINI models available locally. The Cooper Countryman goes home with you for RM 248,888, while the Cooper S Countryman is pricier at RM 285,888 (prices exclude insurance).

25 February 2011 - The Rocketman, debuting at next week's Geneva motor show, should address that most familiar complaint from fans of the original. The first BMW Minis were 12ft 2in long, more than two feet longer than the dinky originals. And this year's Countryman came in at 13ft 5in. This concept is just 11ft 3in long and 4ft 7in high. That's small.
