I read this in one of the articles:

"The Countryman will also be available in Europe with a sports suspension that lowers the car by about 0.4″ and ads tighter suspension tuning and larger diameter wheels."

That's odd-- a sport suspension available only in Europe?

Like that's never happened before (Europe getting better cars) :roll: - I'm looking at you, Ford (next gen Focus, Focus RS, Fiesta, etc).
