Want to watch a CG-heavy 60-second "film" (it's a commercial) with the Mini Cooper Countryman terrorizing an Italian(?) city? No? Rethink your answer and go watch. It's no Bourne Identity Mini Chase, but still, neat.
IRL, the 2011 Mini Countryman will come with either 120-horsepower or 180-horsepower four cylinder motor, standard all-wheel-drive and a six-speed transmission. Release is slated for early 2011.
(Also note the lack of "don't try this at home" warnings when cars are flying. Clearly, parents groups haven't seen this one yet. )

From what I can see, I believe that's in and around Milan

Um, I thought it came with FWD too? I would hope so as AWD just will add a ton of weight.

the flying looked a bit lame, kinda broke up the fun of the rest of it.

No disclaimer because people in other countries can still distinguish fantasy from reality and possess common sense.
