I imagine this might upset some as most concepts seem to.

You guys/girls can make up your own minds.

Personally, some aspects remind me of the old MINI concept they wheeled out at Monte Carlo and wizzed around when mini turned 30 (or 35?).

Predictable responses, remember it is a motor show concept the final model will be similar but not as outlandish :)
there is an old saying where I come from that seems to apply here..."Bairns and fools should see nowt till its done"; :lol:
A couple of the concept pics from the MINI2 galleries, without the motor show trimmings

I can see this appealing to those who love the MINI but want a bit more space, just as the traveller and the Mini van appealed to Mini lovers back in the day. 8)

well I guess you could scale up a photo of an original 850 and make it look like an SUV if you wanted to, after all it has the required shape.
