CanadianDriver on the Clubman

Think of it as the Mini Mullet – business in the front and party in the back.

Um… Not sure what to say about that.

Be a good name for the SAV.

Yeah, an SUV or a pre rusted pickup with a factory gun rack.

Wouldn’t it be more of a “reverse mullet”… party in the front (since it feels like a MINI coupe) and business in the back (added space/utility)? :)

This little car could become the new best selling model in the MINI lineup. The hatchback and convertibles are yesterday news. The Clubman embodies years of promises from the BMW Group as far as expanding the MINI brand and attracting a different market demographic from the other 2 models.

I wish them much success with the Clubman. MINI needs to get this car right from the start (Quality control, etc, etc).

Not enough room up front for a dance floor so party in back ;)

Although a coupe remains the best fit for me, I predict Clubman-fever when this baby hits the showrooms. Those infactuated by pics/press apparently are going to have quite a thrill working all those doors and exploring Clubman-specific design bits for themselves up close and personal.

I think you are right on the money, gokartride. I think MINI is going to be very surprised at how far off they are on their predicted sales of the Clubman, and how well this car does in the North American market. I held off trading my ‘04 for an ‘06 waiting for the Clubman, and am 2nd on the “wait” list at my local MINI dealer.
