IMO, the more recent shots look ALOT more like an actual mini than the concept does...</p> Veggievet- The pictures up top are of the concept; the spy photos you can find on the web (search “MINI Crossman”) show the design not anywhere near as bubbled and bloated, with better visibility out back (and four full doors).

I wonder if this was designed purposefully so Countryman drivers wouldn't see the confused looks of drivers behind them trying to figure out how such a bloated car could have a MINI badge on it. Is it just me or do the headlights give the car a 'surprised' look to it when viewed from the front, and an 'angry' look when viewed from an angle?</p> Looks like visibility out the rear window will be very limited.

I can't understand how people really think they know more than BMW/Mini with regards to product development and market strategy. Smoke your cigars and who knows what we'll see, however I doubt it will be more of a flop than the X6 (if we are keeping this BMW/Mini flops regardless of the rest of the industry).</p> The Countryman will be good.
