I'm not digging the headlights or how long the front is to accommodate that sloping windscreen....

I'm just glad that MINI may be planning to keep the Clubbie in the lineup.

Love it. Is it safe to say that the entire front end comes up when you pop the hood? :D

That's the best part of the concept I think. If the rear windows were retractable the Clubman would have a Mercedes CLS coupe-type look with the windows down.

That concept is from 2005 and predates the current Clubman. The next car won't look like that. There's no practical front bumper and single piece front end would be very complex (expensive) to mass produce.

Thought that was the MINI Clubman concept also (pre clubman ). Then they did a series of concepts a little different at each auto show.
