clubman!?

[6f7]

I came across this!? The clubman look just doesn't work with the new MINI styling.

Funny thing is, that photoshop job was banded around as the 'clubman' but it's far more like the 'countryman' mini than the squared off clubman.

Looks stupid too.

so glad to here it was a prank. I couldn't believe BMW had seriously persued something as hidious as that.

[Paul]

The idea hasn't been completely dismissed, but if BMW ever produced something that silly, I'd cry.

[zoooooom]

This is a clubman

[BruceK]

Yes, it seems the Clubman name is being used in reference to only the classic Mini Clubman Estate, ignoring the saloon model.

Here's a Clubman Estate:

This is yet another future MINI variant that I would be very interested about, even more so than the rumored 5 door MINI.

I have been following developments at the 2002 Paris Autoshow, but it appears to be that BMW/MINI will not be showcasing any new MINI prototypes during this event.

I guess we will have to wait for NAIAS 2003 in Detroit next year to see if MINI has some new model unveilings in the works.

I think a MINI "Wagon" would be very, very cool. It would be the perfect compliment for those of us who already own the current 3 door MINI hatchback.


The Cabriolet and Pick-up variants are interesting but I personally don't find them very appealing because of passenger room limitations.


MINIUSA: Please make a MINI Estate varianr...I would be the first one in line to put a deposit...

Not real keen on the "Clubman". Looks like an East German product.

But I think a MINI Estate (wagon) could be interesting. There's the commercial market to consider (delivery vehicles, etc), as well as people who just want more room to carry their stuff.

I agree. My wife really likes the Cooper and is talking about getting one in a few years when we replace the Subaru wagon, but we'd still need a "dog hauler" car. A MINI Estate might just fit the bill.

When will the Clubman wagon Estate be available for sale?

I haven't yet received my MCS, but would think very seriously about a Mini Wagon... whatever it's called. I once had a Triumph Herald Station Wagon. I loved that car. I was in Air Force in Turkey & bought it from a guy who had been stationed in England. It carried me, my wife, my mother (who was visiting) and my infant son, diaper bags, and luggage.

I never had a car that was so much fun and so under powered. I Mini would be so much better.

Here's another one

I wish MINI were going to offer this lovely wagon for sale here in the US soon. Me likely! I really dig it. This MINI wagon would be the perfect addition to our Cooper.

Imagine this baby with the Supercharged engine? Hmmmmmmmmm sweeet!

I like the double doors in the tailgate. Looks like a MINI-Suburban
