    If it looks at all like the F56 with a bunch of stickers on it I can tell you now it will FAIL.

    Does not this mean that the F56 will be gone and hopefully a much better new model will be making its debut ??

    I would like to say that it couldn't be worse, but given BMW's designers recent track record..........:frown2:

    What they aren't telling you is that the designers are going big..... They are on a roll you know...

    Be prepared for the JCW GP MINI Cooper Clubman.....

    "For years now we’ve heard rumors of a new JCW GP." How long has it been 3 years max? Nothing like over dramatizing.

    "Today we have confirmation. During last week’s Countryman debut head of MINI worldwide Peter Schwarzenbauer seemed to indicate that a new GP would be forthcoming:" Looking for something that might not be there just have something to write about. Perfect example of what is wrong with the media.

    "What would we see in the GP? Our guess is that MINI will be conservative with a front wheel drive car. Therefore a stripped down lighter 250 hp F56 JCW with a coil over suspension and six-pot brakes sounds just about perfect to us." Wow what a great guess, not like they are going to put something out faster than a bottom of the line BMW. We'll all be lucky if it bust 230hp.

    Nope, its means they have a new MINI design abortion to sell with extra stickers and a little power bump.

    It will be a limited numbered edition so people will think they have a "special" car for an extra 5-8 grand. :lol:

    It will be a BMW M .05 as NO MINI will EVER be sold with more power than the lowest BMW.
