i reckon thats a good idea for a change for the bmw minis. the clubman is a horrible lookng thing, but the van is alright. onder if there's going to be a pick up soon...

Mini are doing that chassis to death arent they.... it was an aged design when it first came out, shame they cant "modernise" the design a bit rather than making weird varients of a crap design all the time

Shame they couldn't come up with their own idea for something ground breaking and iconic of their own in the first place. I appreciate it's a marketing man's wet dream and an obvious sales success, but where's the innovation....?

Meh not bad, then again it'll probably be huge like the last one... I swear that Countryman is bigger than a mondeo!

not too offensive.
unlike the coupe that either makes me throw up a little bit into my mouth or laugh out loud.
not a good combo for all concerned

well this is it, the new minis were never a particularly good looking car imo, and were never as cool as the old ones.
countryman, clubman and coupe even less good looking than the, erm, original new one (i know that doesn't work...)

but as a small van i think this is alright, and will sell well to sort of small trendy/vintage clothing shops etc, i think they're called boutiques? this is what i've been told they're called anyway
