Four Door MINI Cooper 2012

Surprised I have not seen this mentioned on NAM......

......the 2012 Mini Cooper will also get a new 4-door hatchback body style based on the upcoming all-wheel-drive Crossman crossover. Like the two-seaters, it should come in standard and sportier S trim with front-wheel drive only, so ground clearance will be reduced from the Crossman but could be greater than on other Minis. Autocar also expects the 4-door to have a few specific styling touches, but it’s unclear what those might be. Incidentally, these models will be built in Austria by contract manufacturer Magna-Steyr, which will also turn out the Crossman.

In Austria by Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria. I thought it sounded like they were talking about the Countryman also. Everything fits.
