Wenn man folgender in mehreren englischen Blogs erschienenen Meldung Glauben schenken darf (ähnliches steht ja auch in der deutschen Pressemitteilung), dann gibt es ab Juli bei Country/Paceman die (zumindest durchgehende) Centerrail nicht mehr:

"When Mini first introduced the Countryman, it only came as a four-seater, with a center rail between the two seats that could house things like cup holders and could be slid back and forth. Buyers could even opt for a full-length center rail that ran from just aft of the gear shifter all the way back between the rear seats, like we did in our long-term 2011 Cooper S Countryman All4, shown above.
Shortly after the Countryman’s launch, Mini was able to offer the vehicle with a proper rear bench seat; the company could not offer this at launch due to NHTSA guidelines that governed the minimum vehicle width for three-person seating, but those rules were changed. And now, we’ve received official confirmation of something we reported last year: the Countryman is losing its center rail and four-person seating arrangement altogether. Moving forward, buyers will only be able to spec a Countryman with the bench seat, and a cup holder will be affixed to the back of the forward cabin’s center console.
The larger-but-smaller Paceman will also be losing the center rail between its rear seats, but the car will remain a four-seater, instead having a console between the two rear seats that houses a cup holder, an iPod cozy and a 12-volt outlet, according to USA Today.
These changes affect all 2014 model year Countryman and Paceman models, which will go on sale later this summer."

Dafür gibt es bei den 2014er Modellen also wohl einen Cupholder und eine 12-Volt Steckdose hinten, außerdem irgendeinen Eierpott...

Meinungen dazu ?

Positiv oder negativ ?

Im Übrigen erhöhen sich die Preise (zumindest in USA) um 100 $...
