That looks like a winner of a car. Now if they could make it in an all wheel drive version, woo hoo.

Actually, I participated in a market research study and saw/sat in a prototype of the Traveller/Clubman concept, and it looked
EXACTLY like the photo posted here.

Sweet! I'm still eyeing that as my soccer mom car.
Maybe I'll even have kids by the time it comes out.

Five seats sounds cool.
Now to talk the wife out of the fourth kid and this will be perfect for us.

It won't have five seats though. That's just autoexpress being autoexpress.

I already knew there won't be 5 seats. Too bad. I don't understand why.

Don't start hoping for things like AWD and extra seats or it will START at 30K+,$'s and go UP from there, we don't want to "kill the goose" that good lay one helluva "golden egg". I am hoping for a base model to start at about 25K, heck, I can dream can't I?

I like it, it looks like a very useful little car, still I prefer the mini Mini. I wonder if this will sell more than than regular Mini, it will be interesting to see what happens.

Just so you know.. . . . for less than the price of xenon headlights, you can forever make sure that the 4th kid won't be your's

My wife is planning on replacing her minivan in 2009 with a Clubman as well. Gotta be an "S" - but why would we want AWD?
