While this is not a Shut-up-and-take-my-money situation, it's an improvement on recent efforts. For the record, MINI's got new competition with their bloating size demographic. Here's what they are now competing with:

This is another example of how my opinion of the design changes drastically based on the camera angle. I'm not a fan of white roofs on the Clubman, Countryman, or Paceman, so my attention was more drawn to the Cooper in these pictures. I was kind of feeling the looks based on the pics from the front and the 3/4 views, but the shot of the rear from straight on killed the whole thing for me.
I do like the looks of the interior and really like the looks of those blue leather seats. -

First the Paceman, now this... What is with MINI putting taillights that look like they are off of a Toyota Carola on special MINIs? They look hideous! That is the only reason I have a Countryman and not a Paceman, too me its the kind of ugly you cant get used to or fix. [emoji22]

And offer more power out of the box.

Looking at it again after thinking about the examples that Eric posted and the statement above, I'm better with the design. Still don't like the design from the back. Would prefer there be more width in the cabin instead of the body extending wider than the greenhouse or the body to line up with the greenhouse and there be some large wheel flares. -

For me all the back end needs is the taillights rotated 90 degrees and shrunken a bit. The rest of the look from the rear I am OK with.

I like it. Looking forward to seeing one in the sheet metal.

N2MINI MINI of the Month
MINI now offers 3 vehicles that are basically the same. Countryman, Paceman, and now the Clubman. ( if it only had AWD ) Guess they had to change it up as they almost dropped the Clubman a year or two ago. My guess is atleast one of them won't make it past this Gen model..
