I like the rear end.............of the Clubman, that is!! It is interesting and distinctive...rather that than boring.

Don't like the silver on the back doors, but beyond that it looks great!

Man, it seems they stuck that ugly a** strip around the backs of all of them, just in different colors. If they got rid of that (the black car looks better-'cause you cant see it), and did some sort of redesign on the tail lights, that thing would be sweet. The taillights are too small.

I think they're trying to make the car look shorter by chopping off that rear quarter panel. Unfortunately it also makes the car much uglier. It's a wagon - let it look like one.

I agree with you there, too.

I don't like that either. If I were to get one, I'd have those areas painted body color and black, as needed.

my dad thought the same thing about the taillights being too small. with the silver coming down they dont look that bad, but I imagine if it was all body color, they would look tiny

I'm sorry, but that thing is God Awful.

Looks like a MINI drank a fifth of Jack, had a one-nighter with Suburu Outback, and that thing popped out 9 months later.

Blech !

I guess I am going to be the only one driving the Clubman then, as I like it
a lot and will be great to haul stuff around.
