    It's a good idea, we looked at a Mini a while back, but gave the idea up as you couldn't put much more than a purse in the boot. A pram or a buggy was out of the question. If there'd been an option like that we might have considered it. By the way the mini was for Jo, not me!

    The Mini has a certain appeal, which I think is completely negated by turning it into an SUV. I like the idea of a 4 door Mini, but hate the shape/idea of an SUV. They've completely killed it's cheeky appeal (IMO). :yikes: :grrr: :gatling:

    the clubman looks kinda cool, and real, the other ones a total mock up, they're just testing the waters.

    Looks more like it should have an Audi badge than a BMW one with that front end styling

    Thats a crop and a poor one at that. Its only a few weeks ago that BMW said they were developing a MIni on the 1-Series chassis as the margins are poor on both cars and global sales are falling for the Mini
