The MINI Convertible has sold 26,000 units in the United States, making the US market as one of the largest market for MINI aside from Great Britain. The MINI Convertible Sidewalk will be available by mid-April and the automaker is confident that it will be selling like hotcakes again.
The demand for the MINI Cooper in the US has remained strong all throughout the six year cycle of the MINI and as a matter of fact, out of the 39,000 MINI vehicles delivered to the US, 52% are MINI Cooper S models which further implies that the US market is really an ideal market for the MINI. And if sales trend will continuously increase, the US market may become the MINI's strongest global retail market.
New MINI vehicles are expected to arrive at MINI showrooms in the US by February 17, 2007. The new MINIs have aluminum alloy four cylinder engines which increase power and performance. The new MINI hardtops are also expected to make strong market statement with their 1.6Liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine is capable of delivering 118 horsepower and 114 ft. lbs. of torque at 4,250 rpm. This gives the MINI the power to reach 60 mph in just a matter of 8.5 seconds and reaching a top speed of 126mph.
The new MINI Cooper S is powered by a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers a whopping 172 horsepower and 177 ft. lbs. of torque ranging from 1,600 rpm to 5,000 rpm. The Cooper S can also reach 60 mph in 6.7 seconds and has a top speed of 139 mph.
MINI Cooper S is not only known for power and performance but even in terms of fuel-efficiency. The MINI Cooper with a manual transmission for instance is capable of achieving an amazing 40 miles per gallon in highway driving and that is according to the latest EPA testing.
MINI Cooper and Cooper S are available with a wide range of MINI parts, features and equipment. An example of such feature is the optional ambient interior illumination which can be changed to warm orange or to a cool blue, depending on the preference of the driver and the passengers.
The MINI Convertible Sidewalk on the other hand is a perfect car for those who love open-air driving. The Sidewalk Drop-top is going to be available in the US market in spring and will be offered as an exclusive package for both the MINI Cooper Convertible and the MINI Cooper S Convertible at a cost of $4,000.

Guitars usually follow vogue trends in their styles. Every year we may find some new models of guitars that have new sound characteristics and fashionable design. Lots of electric guitars that are offered for the customers have no national color, but not every guitar does. World-known corporation Ibanez introduced their newest collection in spring 2008 and that one differs from any other considerably.
Any guitar producer has got its own traditions and most of them like developing guitars that are similar to their classic shapes and characteristics. For instance, Epiphone, Gibson and Fender perform the same, but not Ibanez guitars. Surely, that is the sound that first of all matters in a guitar instrument, but when the guitar is also a pleasant for the eyes, satisfaction doubles.
When you see the instruments that have been introduced as Spring 2008 Special Limited Edition you realize that Ibanez is a Japanese brand. Some new models as RG and SRX comprise brilliant trademark's sound quality and sophisticated design. Such components as ?Japan black? finish and red binding make these instruments look really Japanese. Prompts are sakura carving, that is the most suitable soft matter for that part of guitar.
The first idea that is generated in mind when you see new RGR is ?That is made in Japan?. This ninja ?weapon?, made for an assassination on stage, is ascetically simple in its appearance but dangerously strong in its sound. This instrument may be compared just with a man that is dressed in black but his white neck is observed. Having looked at it you can't find any excess part. Ibanez spring collection has got a huge amount of different interesting guitars, but this one is considered to be the most uncommon. The black and white color gamma of the two models mentioned above is much varied by the color boom of other series, notably the diversicolored GRG micro models; the variegated BTB and smartly tested ICB. That is a great offering in Ibanez spring collection for guitar players of all ages which is called Talman Acoustics. They are plain and advanced instruments simultaneously. There's also a horrific skull tracery with a hard-rock-style Ibanez logo for unspeakable rockers within the Talman Acoustics series. The other part of its design underlines the Japanese roots of that guitar. There is a sun around the rosette that is exposed in the best customs of the Land of the Rising Sun.
The spring 2008 collection introduced the new PM-35 from Pat Metheny, who's been with Ibanez for more than 20 years. The appearing of that class allows everybody who only starts playing the guitar to purchase such guitars as there are no high prices. ?I am truly glad to have this guitar out there and affordable for everyone,? said the famous jazz musician.
