I don't know about this guys....The MINI Cooper and Clubman are both really nice but doesn't feel abit to much. I mean a 4 door mini!!! It looks like the Skoda Fabia that came out 2 years ago... On another interesting note, this will have 4 wheel drive and there may be a possiblity that the 4 wheel drive system be transferred to the other models. It would sure help out in winter.

Weird. The trunk looks like it should be a hatch, but it has the Clubman barn doors. I can't wait to see how this evolves.

Looks like the barn doors will stay unique to the Clubman

YOU CALLED IT! NICE!

Thanks for that link - I'm a little puzzled as to the marketing tie they are making with the X3, and no mention of an X1? But I'm easily confused.

It keeps looking like a Chrysler from the rear. Need to see the final!

This looks pretty cool as a possible JCW version.

Agreed,

Do I see a Evo/STI killer in our future?

Looks good - too bad they dragged their feet that badly and lost us.

We got rid of the old Mini Pooper (105k miles on her at the time) and picked up a new Scoobie-Doo Impreza right before the end of the year.

Hopefully we'll pick up another Mini someday.
