anyone heard anything about a mini van being released later this year?

There was some early speculation but I guess a 'van' would be easy if they just ripped out the back seats and put steel panels where the rear windows are ( like the fiesta van of a few years ago ).

But to make a useful van like the Mini of old they would have to have a lengthened wheelbase and slammed doors at the back, and I guess if they did that they would make an estate (Countryman?) of it too - and possibly a 5 door.

So guess we would hear aboy the estate first?

Or they could just bang out a 'Fiesta' style van???

Or Horror! - they could ..
