Ironically one of the "sunniest" cars in the industry recently made its debut in one of the rainiest cities in North America.

The all-new MINI Convertible debuted at Vancouver, B.C.'s Pacific International Auto Show on Friday March 26, one of the most important markets for MINI in Canada. Unless in attendance at the Geneva Auto Show earlier this month, it is the first opportunity North American car enthusiasts have had to see the new convertible up close and personal.

With that in mind, do the pictures of the convertible previously posted on the net and in print do the car justice? Perhaps, but it is much better looking in person.
Wolfram Cueppers, National Marketing Manager for BMW Group Canada introduced the car to a fairly large crowd of anticipatory journalists and hangers on, remarking, "We are thrilled to be unveiling the MINI Convertible today here in Vancouver. The West Coast continues to be one of the hottest MINI markets in Canada, and with more top-down weather than most of the country, Vancouver is a fitting location to introduce the MINI Convertible."
