Im sure people who bought the original Traveller did so because it was a cheap, small estate car. The Clubman is bound to be overpriced, like the normal Mini.
Most of us mugs are willing to pay over the odds for a small car that looks like an old iconic car because, although it is flawed in many areas, it looks cool and drives like a go cart.
The lack of space in my Mini(s) can be a problem but I wouldn't buy an expensive estate variant of it just because it was more practical. There is no way the performance will be as good and I dont think (judging by the pics I have seen) it would do my street cred any good either.
Where is the market for an overpriced small estate car - that (apart from the double rear doors) looks nothing like the rather ugly original?
People in that market segment want ford focus c-max's and other cheap, dull equivalents!! |
