[fuzzer]

i like it Thats maybe not the best colour.

 

[jpskiller]

its just not right, but im old fashioned and only like the original mini's back when the name matched the car

How do I put this without being rude...

I don't think that some of the posters here are really the target buyers that BMW had in mind for their trendy new model. I think I'll leave it at that.

That mid section really spoils it - sort of a cross between a stretch limo and a rx-8. Just checked, and yes it is an RX-8 style door (one side only though!)

Looks good but then I would say that as our C-class shares the garage with a classic Mini Cooper and a new BMW MINI. If the Clubman is as much fun to drive as the other Minis it will be a hit just like the old Mini Traveller, Countryman and Clubman estates were.

I used to have a Mini Cooper but got rid for more space, under 35, creative professional...I'd say the ideal target?!

To me it just looks wrong... Something out of "Pimp my Ride" or better still "Monster Garage"..

Woody HERE!

I'd say you are the ideal target too.

Synical marketing, please somebody create a new wave of car style!

flicking into pedantic mode a bit....mini clubman is more about the style of the front grill and some other modifications. The 'estate' version was just another variant of the clubman - most would agree it was the model that best suited the front end changes.
anyway - I had one for a fair few years - bag of crap but very 'involved' in any and every way you can think of.
anyway - back to the point in hand - new model - MINGIN!!

It's not really style though is it, more lets make it look like the old one but really mess it up and end up with something that resembles something my two year old just threw up

I had a clubman, before that a minivan ( my first car ).
I love the backend, not keen on middle, front standard modern mini.
