The MINI Moke Concept, very interesting (Detroit 2010 ?)

Gabe: We reported on the facelift earlier this summer.

Yeah, but that was very vague and speculative. Have any details firmed up yet?

Typical BMW life cycles are 7 years- do not be surprised to see MINI doing the same thing as a lot of technology and components will be increasingly tied to BMW products.

That seems to be a pretty long lifecycle for the current R56 hatch, compared to the 5 model year lifecycle for the original hatch.

I’m eager to see the MPV and Moke. I like the Clubman, but think a 4-door MC similar to the Mazdaspeed 3 or even Suzuki SX4 would be a great addition. The Moke would be excellent as well, as long as it has real off road capability. Though honestly, the old Moke photos I’ve looked at are pretty low to the ground, I’m not sure how far off road they went.

Huh! I thought that the R60 would not be here in the USA until early 2011? Now it will be available in the 2010 model year?

All I want is the roadster!!!

So a “lightweight” JCW R60 would seem to imply that they will be doing a lowered version with “street” suspension. Reducing weight with an SUV-esque suspension and COG is pretty pointless. If so, then this car gets on my purchase radar along with the 2010 Golf R.

I would guess that 95% of jeeps never see anything but asphalt.

if mini’s gonna offer the moke as a “wrangler replacement” the awd better be top notch. last thing they need is to promote a replacement for the jeep and not have it be able to get off the asphalt…
