Hmmmm, well the original Mini clubman estate of the 1960's had rear dutch doors instead of a liftgate. For me I prefer the dutch doors and if MINI ever produces a modern rendition of the classic clubman estate I would expect them to keep this design trait.

Enlarging the body behind the rear wheels? That's too weird for me. I prefer a longer wheelbase to improve rear seat legroom as well as cargo room.
