There needs to be an #R55Love tag.
I actually kind of like the F56 hatchback (although most of the details are WAY overstated and overall the whole F series lack the subtlety/cuteness factor that all previous models had), but the Clubman... I keep trying to warm up to it and can't. It lacks all of the styling cues that make the R55 work so well. The tuxedo-like roof/C-pillar/bumper graphics, the formal, tapered, sporty roofline, the traditional vertical tail lights... there's so much that COULD have carried over to make the Clubman continue to be special, but the design team left the rails. :(

Ah...the cyclical hate for the new MINI models coming out. The R56 got the same hate from the R50/R53 owners in 2007.
There are still a few small design details on the F54 Clubman bother me...especially the sharp angle at the top of front-door window frame, where it meets the A-pillar...but I don't think any of those would prevent me from possibly getting one when it's time to replace my R55.
