Would
you like a rooftop flag with that? Apparently, a good chunk
of new MINI owners are saying yes. With just 4,000 MINIs on
U.S. roads, 1,000 flag decals have been ordered. Having been
a year of unbridled patriotism in both the U.S. and UK, the
race is quite tight between the Union Jack and Old Glory. The
U.S. flag is ahead at 380 units sold, while the UK flag is close
behind at 350.
Customers
cited national loyalty as the main reason for choosing a U.S.
flag. The UK flag is mainly chosen to sport MINI's British roots
and is also proving a favorite with UK ex-patriot owners. Additionally,
customers of both flags listed the fun of personalization as
a reason for purchase.
