MINI finally gets direct competition in the US: Abarth

Well, taste is certainly subjective, I'll give you that. Personally, I hate "stretched" tires more than just about any other automotive fad I've seen in the past 35 years, so that picture you posted would have been the last one I would have used if I were trying to extol the stylistic virtues of the Fit.

Not my style - in fact, I think it looks pretty hideous. But at least it doesn't have the whole "stretch/poke" thing going on. Actually, I think that's an artist's rendition anyway - I don't think those wheels/tires would fit inside the wheelwells of a Clubman.
EDIT - Looking more closely, I'm fairly certain that's just a digital mockup, since those appear to be OEM Audi wheels.

Of the three pictures, only the last one looks halfway real, but I guess someone did decide to go with Audi wheels on their Clubman, complete with the Audi-branded center caps!
Got cut off twice by a an older lady driving a 500 yesterday while driving around in my neighborhood. Regardless, I still like 'em! ...Not as much as MINIs, though.
