    2 ltr only making 189 HP...... I wonder why??

    At least someone did a little work on the front bumper...

    I guess I'll need to see one up close before making final judgement...

    Same engines and specs as the F56 hatchback models.

    I am a sucker for a sporty wagon, but the US market doesn't seem to be all that interested -- on the whole, they would rather something sitting higher on a truck platform.

    I look forward to checking it out. I hope that the engine handles the increased size to deliver a driving experience expected of a MINI.

    The front bumper is "better" (I am using that loosely) but the non fuctional scoop has got to go... Then theres the disappointing HP figure... You can get more power in a Japanese econo poobox! This thing is probably going to weigh as much as a Caddy too... Thanks BMW, just what I never wanted.
