Concept Mini

Audi World had the Frankfort show coverage and had some pics of the Mini Concept wagon. Pretty handsome, I think. Since the wagons are comming back in vouge, it should fit a niche.

I don't like it because it elongates the MINI apparently WITHOUT giving it the one thing it could really use:

MORE REAR PASSENGER LEGROOM

Looks like all they did was give it more space behind the rear seats. I don't use the space I have now, I don't need more of it.

It would be interesting to see two models: one where the back seats are nearly flush with the back of the car and more legroom and one as-shown, and see which sells more. I bet my concept would sell better than theirs.

That's what I'm talkin' about! Replace the wife's Suburban with this and she will have enough room for kids, errands, etc. And if she loves driving it, I will get MY mini back full time. Sweeeeeeeeet.
