I sold my 2010 Jeep Sahara for the same reason. Fuel cost. The Clubman is great. Close to 3k and flawless so far.
Congrats and let the Uification begin.
Pictures please

I did the same thing in '08 because of the fuel prices (was driving an F-150 King Ranch). Loved that Justa Clubbie, but it was totalled out in Dec so I got my '11 S. Haven't been this happy with a vehicle in a looooong time! I think it's a safe prediction to say you won't have any regrets.

He made a post on another thread not too long ago. Perhaps he chose a different color at the dealership.

My new ice blue mni clubman S

Here's a picture of my new baby - just off the truck last night and I'm picking it up tomorrow. I guess not many ice blue produced with a silver top - they only found one available in the US. I wasn't sure how it would look but I couldn't be happier!

Wow, that looks really nice. Take pictures of the boot for us. That is the first Clubman I have seen in pictures with a silver top. Congratulations on your purchase.

Be sure to post your pictures on the Official Ice Blue thread.

Looks good, I really like the Ice Blue color. It reminds me of the old silk green color from the first gens.

Awesome choice! I agree the Ice Blue reminds me of Silk Green in its retro Art Deco "complimentariness" to MINI's iconic design.
