Didn't want to double-post -- wish there was a way to link a thread to more than one forum section...

[Autoblog] Mini changing Paceman name to Countryman Coupe for production

Kinda makes sense, kinda doesn't... Haven't decided whether it's a good thing or a bad thing...

I think they are just trying to make the name ridiculously long...
Mini Cooper S Countryman All 4 Coupe

I wonder if changing the name will help them avaoid paying extra fees for creating and certifing an entriely new vehicle for the US. if it is then i guess anything to keep the price from blowing up.
