MINI Canada dropped off a sample JCW Paceman at my local dealer - MINI Crowfoot - in Calgary...

What do you think?!

Nice! the kit seems to have cleaned up the lines on the sides with the awkward door cutouts. The back is a little bulbous though.

 

That looks like the one that is touring North America. My wife checked it out at Mini of Marin about a month or so ago. It's exactly the same from the photos she took.

She said it looked like a miniature Range Rover Evoque.

 

My local dealer told me that they should have one by next weekend for me to try before I contemplate ordering one.
Hoping that it is a non-JCW model ... the JCW just doesn't make any financial or performance sense from where I sit.

 

Looks pretty sharp to me. I hope it turns up at MINI Victoria soon

 

I still don't like the turned down corners of the grill on this or the CM. It doesn't look like it's having fun.

 

Richard Hammond agrees.

CM doesn't have the "turned down corners" on the grill

 

All the fun is on the other side of the grille.

 

The '11 S model sure does.

 

Nice find, can't wait to test drive one.

 

Still looks ugly as sin to me. But to each their own.

 

Both the Countryman and the Paceman have the standard grill for the Cooper models and the turned down corners for the Cooper S and Cooper S ALL4.
