That would kind of negate the use of the word "MINI", wouldn't it?rich said:I'd really like to see a bigger "Roomy" version of the S - Kind of a sporty MPV... Room for the shopping, the kids, the mother-in-law. ...

How about MAXI,
and before anyone starts yes I know its been done before.
Probably not a big deal to make it work. The 3 series has the Z rear axle and thats rear wheel drive. Have to boost power to about 200bhp though to cope with the extra weight & friction. See what happened to WRX sales!. Extra weight - Ugly re-style - SLOWER than outgoing model. Not a good combination.Llama said:Last thing I read some time ago in Auto Express (I think it was) were that a lot of the other projects, 4wd included, had been dumped with only the likely hood of 3 door models and a cheaper 1.4 variant.
Although I'd like to see this be wrong as a 4wd mini would be the biz!![]()
