Well has it?

There were photoshops, spy shots, concepts and even predictions of a 2007 Launch.
It just seems that the Traveller is falling off the radar, its not even listed in Autocar's coming soon 2007/8 column any more (sure it was once

) and delaers are still saying no firm evidence when or if.
Well my dealer was but I think that was when I gave then back the keys to the R56 with a shake of the head

Any ideas anyone?

That was my first car!!!

Not a huge step forward really

Scrogg · Jan 8th, 2007, 09:47 PM

MINI have spent the last 5 months getting the R56 out, so it's not really a surprise that nothing new about the Traveller has been released. The next launch they will concentrate on is the new One and the D.

Once this is out of the way and the whole R56 range is on the market I expect we will see and hear a lot more.

You're also forgetting the release of the JCW too!

A lot to do for a late 2007 launch then?

ScottieCoop · Jan 9th, 2007, 12:50 PM

Yes I put my deposit down last Saturday. As far as I know it will be called the Clubman.

I know MINI are doing something in Berlin for the dealers around October/November time this year. In the same way the dealers went to Italy this year for the R56. I know the Launch is November and my car will be sometime after that.

Looking forward to the car can't wait and I like that colour.
