As seen on MF yesterday, MINI sent around a camoflauged 2008 Clubman through the streets of Geneva in hopes of getting some viral publicity for the new car. Mission accomplished.
oh the delemma! Do I order a JCW Clubman for and let the wife drive my ‘slightly’ modified 02 MCS or order a plain Clubman for her and continue driving my MCS? Hmmm, what to do….I just wish mine MCS did not have so many miles on it.
Wife is getting a “plain” Clubman automatic. It will be the family hauler. Her ’02 MC only has 42K but is the older car of the 2 and it is out of warranty. Besides we need a rear door.
I have to admit that the Clubman, from what little I can see of it – looks nice and it surely would allow me to jettison my old Volvo wagon, too. I like the idea of having a MINI as a “family hauler” and still having a great car to drive.
Looks better in the flesh guys – the only thing that rear camo is concealing is the single piece of plastic trim that runs from the roof line to the base of the door, the rear handles, rear lights – oh and the full width LED brake light.
I like this video a lot better than the first one.
I think I’ll stick with the R56 myself.
Enjoy your R56 then.

The Clubman’s got some very nice proportions from what I can see in that video. It’s much better looking than I expected.

Billy, how’s the rear passenger legroom compared to the regular 2 door model?
How did it go with the assembly line training sessions?
Honestly I don’t like it. It looks to much like a scion. 🙁
I still love the old minis! 🙂
