PART 2 | Pat McKenna on the Return of the Manual, Expanded Options & Higher Quality

In the final part of our interview with MINI USA Head of Product & Marketing, Pat McKenna, we drop some big news: the possible return of the manual, along with more options for the current range of cars—changes that could radically transform how we spec new MINIs. Pat also delves into how quality issues with the R56 models led to the F56 generation becoming dramatically more reliable. Finally, he touches on the origins of the Coupe, Roadster, and Paceman, and what they mean to the brand today.
