fwiw, i *do* think this site uses Flash well... i also suspect the
audience is probably Flash savvy...
however, as someone who is *very* interested in getting a Mini (i
hate SUVs and tend toward smaller cars that i can park anywhere),
i can tell you i bought a Dell for features (not a G4 cube, although
it's toaster-like design is cool), a $.49 juicer (it's a spigot i bought
in Maine 15 years ago), and i leave Flash and Shockwave (as well
as Java and sometimes JS) disabled by default in my browsers...
so, there is always a contingent of users that don't fit into that bell
curve, i just suspect for the Mini site, that bell curve is a good fit for
them...
