Hey folks,

Looks like the extended wheelbase Mini that everyone's been talking about, is going to be debutted at the Frankfurt Auto Show as either the Countryman or Traveller.

Here are some pics and a link to the Autoweek website about it. Looks with the launch of the 2007 models, different variants will be introduced at the same time.

How very interesting-!

The things I felt an 'iffy' reaction to personally are the giant MINI-logo rear handle (it's maybe over the top?)
and somehow the tailights look a bit too small to me,

... but the doors are amazing, I actually like the front end, and I'm glad to see the scoop.

I even think I like the wheels

I'm kind of surprised to see the gas cap where it is, because it looks like it would prohibit the suicide doors I've come to expect, but I have no aesthetic issue with it.

Overall, a big thumbs-up. I can hardly wait to see actual photos from the show

LMB · Sep 12th, 2005, 04:06 PM

I don't think they have.

Thanks.
