Ok, it's on the hit BBC tv series Fifth Gear... season 12, episode 6. Watching it now, waiting to see the Clubman in real life...

More later!

 

Hey! This thing is pretty cool looking! Over 900 liters of space when the seats are folded down. 8cm more leg space in the back seat.

The Clubman looks more van-like, with some roof rack bars on the top, and the autostop engine feature.

A little bit of trivia... the classic Mini Traveler and Countryman are spiritual more like the current MINI Clubman. But BMW didn't buy those names, only the Clubman name... so, there you go!

Will I buy one? Hmm, maybe! ;-)

 

I spotted this the other day on youtube...http://youtube.com/watch?v=Px5lH54YHVM

 

Cool!

 

I have the real HD video, would be glad to convert it to a file compatible with cell phones or something or upload it if someone has a place to send it to.

 

Cool stuff. When I think of the folks who will actually be able to use that extra space or carry passengers more comfortably, the Clubman seems absolutely brilliant. Someone was asking about a Clubman for wheelchair use (especially given MINI wide-openning doors). If that works for only a few people that'll be the best thing ever!!!
