Ok here are some more pics of a model closer to being production ready, and I think it looks alright.

Check out the rear leg room...

But in what must be a howler of a design decision (for the RHD part of the world anyway), the speculation is that suicide door will only be available on the driver's side for RHD vehicles, meaning passengers wanting to get out easily need to get out the traffic side. :roll:

Probably a ploy to get people talking and then it'll end up being called the MINI estate or countryman etc ....

Shape is definitley strange. The short middle window looks kinda wrong.

I feel sorry for all the people who are already searching for CLUBMAN stuff on eBay.... youre possibly about to get bombarded with 10 pages of altezza lights, gearknobs, neon ariels, 4" exhausts, etc etc......

They wont use "estate" as it is too generic and widely used.....

I think "Traveller" might be an option, to keep the historic name going.



How long until they release a high roof carry van version like the 'Holden Combo'?? :lol:

The words "scuttle shake" come to mind - It cant be very stiff in the middle section.

Oh and "clubman" is generaly used by other manufacturers for trackday special type cars with minimal creature comforts, not an estate.
