Mini Cooper Paceman given a U.S. passport, $23,900 price tag

For those Mini Cooper shoppers who believe the Countryman is simply too much for them to handle, the Mini Cooper Paceman will arrive in March 2013 sporting a starting price of $23,900. For those who want a 21st-century reinterpretation of the AMC Eagle -- a two-door hatchback with all-wheel-drive -- the Cooper S Paceman with four-wheel power will start at $29,200. It's the last model Mini will launch before it begins a complete refresh of its lineup, one that will inevitably add even more variations on the ancient British theme.
