Sorry if this is old news.. and has been posted here before. I just discovered it:

Very ugly in my opinion

Edit: btw it's not an official MINI thing.. some italian company has done it

Hmmm , I clicked on the link expecting to see an artists impression or something , not a ready made vehicle . Don't think mini utes should be twin cabs myself , always looked better standard length ....

shocking

that would just be embarrasing to drive in

they've lost the plot completely, do they even look at the classic mini when they are making the new ones anymore?

if it wasnt just a welded on square to the back of a sedan, and they accually made it a single cab and a bigger tray, it would be nice, that is just ugly.

Why extend it, then not move the hatch back too?
Then it might have been ok as a panelvan, but pretty useless to have two smaller storage areas IMO.

Great idea, very poorly executed.

God awful execution to be sure. A shorter tray and a single cab might work, but who would do it? Waste of money.

The only thing of value is the cigar humidifier, as (in common with a lot of Ausmini-ers) I am always finding that my cigars dry out too much in my normal car...

its very sad to see the direction they took with the BINI and the "crossover" type 4x4 mini is ridiculous

not at all true to the original concept of what the mini was supposed to be for

Looks like a turd, like most BMW products.

Doogie

I can't think of anything more insulting other than the fact it was once a mini. It speaks for it's self........ someone please write it off NOW
