I looked at the Autoexpress photos today. Am I the only one who thinks that the clubman variant is truely HIDEOUS ?

Surely an (early) April fool ?

Paul · Mar 17th, 2005, 07:22 PM

More fake stuff from Auto Express.

deaglecat · Mar 17th, 2005, 07:27 PM

Oh I do hope so, it looks like a bad Korean copy of the Mini ! Can't believe that BMW would allow such ugliness through their design studios.... then again what about the 1 series .....

MiniCooper · Mar 17th, 2005, 07:38 PM

I dont like it, but the new interior looks real, the way the buttons are set out in a mini badge looks cool

deaglecat · Mar 17th, 2005, 07:45 PM

The clubman photo to the original BMW mini is about the same as the Yaris Verso is to the regular Yaris. Basically, a bit more space.... but at the price of being flipping ugly.

oh my god......my eyessss.........my eyes!!! i'm going blind

the mini is great the way it is. a 4 door clubman version looks more than hideous. i can't find the words....helpp.. pls, bmw, don't do this.

btw, the magazine should be torced openly en-masse by mini supporters.

sheesh!

The photo isn't real, so don't panic too much, but the "Clubman" estate certainly will be.

The news of the Screws has got the Clubman in it this week, seems to have a B pillar between the drivers door and the rear suicide door.

Hope it is a joke, although I do like the idea of a Mini with a sliding rear bench (so you can actually put real human size people in the back seat, all be it at the cost of boot space)

I'd be really interested to see the first plausable picture of the Mini Countryman/Estate.

As the yellow one (with the suicide doors) from Auto Express was an obvious fake (well, it was Auto Express

), does anyone else have any others to put on this thread?

I think that the B pillars (on the image from The News of the World) stem from the fact that it states its an exclusive,so they've had to make it look slightly different from the Autoexpress photoshopped image(which it doesn't),and apart from MINI ME from Austin Powers ,who else could get through that B pillared gap.The way that they have cropped the rear tyre seems to give it a slightly lower profile than the front tyre,looks a bit rushed.
