I hope that the spy shot tail lights are changed prior to release.

I'll wait until I see one in person. I may like it; I may hate it, depending on if the extra length works well or just makes it look like a MINI stretch limo.

It looks a little bloated in the spy shots. I agree we need to see them in person.

Don't ever accuse the Mini engineers in München of not having a sense of humor...

As the following photos clearly demonstrate...

Spotted wandering around the back roads south of Munich last week.

Why it's used to keep the elements off the driver and out of the interior.

More seriously, what do you mean?

The overhang on the back and the creases on the side not as curvey as the rest of the car.

Wife took one look at the Clubman shots in MC2, and she decided, she wants that MINI. She loves the look and (apparent) functionality. I just hope it will be offered in a Turbo Diesel version. Although, after AMVIV, I was amazed at the pep and versatility in the new VVT engines in the 07+ MC (40+ MPG!?!
