I was just reading the post about the Clubman pricing and it says:
"And speaking of Clubman models the question has been asked recently, how will MINI name this new variation? Again based on multiple sources, MINI (worldwide) will be using the same naming convention as seen on the convertible models. That means there will be no mention of the “Clubman” on the car itself, only in the literature and on the web. Like the Convertible models, the Clubman models will simply be designated by “One”, “Cooper”, “Cooper D”, “Cooper S”. This gets around the pesky problem of a really long name (i.e. “MINI Cooper S Clubman”) on the boot. On the downside it allows the “Clubman” name a little less opportunity to become widely known. "

My point is if the car itself is not going to have "Clubman" badging then why is there any problem with what the name of it will be.
As far as I'm concerned when I buy my MINI "Clubman" it will be my MINI TRAVELLER and is enough people refer to them as Travellers then that is what they will be.

I am getting a Traveller too

The front would need to change dramatically for it to ever be a Clubman

Ladies & Gentlemen, I think we have a winner for 'most ridiculous post of the year'!

I don't like the name 'Banana' so, as it isn't actually written anywhere on Bananas, I've decided I'm going to call them Travellers, and if enough people refer to them as Travellers then that is what they will be.

So, here is a bunch of Travellers:

Of course, if the makers of Bana...sorry Travellers were to make them with a square front they would then be Clubmans.

How long before some company brings out matching TRAVELLER letter sets so people can re-brand their cars?

You've got a point there, the name "Clubman" is such a rubbish choice and we don't have to be saddled with it!

"Traveller" it is then

So I'll be driving a Gypsy?
Will I be able to tow my caravan when I get moved on?

Tarmac your drive anyone?

Course there was an Austin Gypsy so calling the cars after itinerants is not such a bad idea-perhaps they'll keep the traveller for the 4x4
