The city is home to 20m people and it seems, as locals rush to see the international pavilions before they close, about 19m are there every day at the moment.

First Drive: 2011 Mini Cooper S Countryman
2011 Mini Cooper S Countryman - First Test - Automobile Magazine
The Mini with more AND less.

Mini has pulled off the icon revival act of the century by growing a new and vastly superior subcompact sports car from a few well chosen genes of the original. This old/new hybrid took root at the start of the decade, matured with the introduction of a second-generation design in 2007, and gained momentum in the teeth of the recession. After a peak sales year in 2008, the current 100 US Mini dealers expect to move 45,000 cars in calendar 2010 thanks in part to an impressive 18-percent rise in September sales over 2009 volume.
