Possible SUV in testing:

Those plastic wheel arches look huge!

 

Maybe Hummer should make a Mini?

 

...just noticed the 5 lug wheels , they look very BMW'ish.

 

So, Funny sometimes Sid...

 

A 4 wheel drive Mini would be of interest (esp if rear wheel biased please) - a good addition to the line-up like any xi version of the BMWs. If they seriously change it and make it much bigger to really be an SUV and all that implies, well that defeats the whole "Mini/mini" thing to me. In the end, though, they can call it what they like but it will not in truth be the huge truck SUVs that actually have the shortcomings and problems that gave the looming grocery getters the tarnished image anyway - I just hope it is not ugly to boot

 

Looks like it's going to be a slightly higher AWD MINI. Sounds intriguing. But, if you take it off-road, the interior will probably fall apart.

 

They definitely shouldn't make a MINI SUV... oxymoron?

Hopefully an AWD MINI will be made... it'd make it on my list in no time! But no MINI SUV..

 

Here is some more stuff on the Mini SUV or SAV as they want to call it.
