nuvolari: This is a European spec only. North American-bound Clubmans have the same size fuel tank: 50L (aka 13.2 US gallons).

Also, if you are comparing fuel tank size from Europe to US gallons, note that there is a difference in the size of a gallon: 1 US gallon (gl) = 3.8 liters

1 UK gallon (gl) = 4.6 liters

Interesting. The S has a 25% larger tank and slightly longer range. Did they do that on the coupes?

This is an European Union MINI Clubman catalogue printed in English. This is not an US spec Clubman sales brochure.

Cool, thanks for this!

Still not entirely convinced about the Clubman, but I appreciate the link all the same.

Why are white C-pillars a problem? I think that HC w/ a white roof would be one of the best looking combinations. Does anyone know if they will eventually offer this?

Got a chance to check out the Clubman at the Portland Oregon auto show this last weekend. No doubt that its a Mini. Not my personal cup of tea but think it should be a interesting car still. Like the barn doors, form and function is a winner in my book. The suicide door is decent though the seat belt could get in the way in day to day life. Overall a good design, however the two ridges on the roof line just didn’t work at all for me visually.

I think the problem with the white roof in the Clubman is not so much the roof as to having white C-pillar/rear bumper cover..

Yes, the initial Clubman promos displayed cars with Argentinian plates. By the way, new MINIs are officially sold there.

This sounds like fun. Well anything to do with the Mini must be fun. I wonder if Magdelena will be there. She is the most best sales person I ever met. Talk about knowledge of the product. She is the tops.

OK, I have been waiting ever since the announcement of the Clubman colors for someone else to ask this: why is MINI not offering a white roof, and are there any plans to do so? I sold my 2003, the worst decision ever, and was very excited about getting my new Clubman eventually, but I am disappointed in the roof options.

I noticed one of the cars has Argentina plates.

Read the small letters in the last page of the brochure. This is a German market Clubman product catalog.

This is very nice, but this isn’t the official US Clubman product brochure. No mention of leatherette seats, the factory warranty is shown to be only 2 years, descriptions of Clubman Dooper and all measuraments are shown in metric (the way it should be).

Actually the PDF looks like a scan of the european brochure. It mentions the EU and “tyres”. :) Still nice to see the color combos.

A cool piece and very informative! However, I’m a little confused. This is for the US but all measurements are in metric and there is mention of the D?
