<p>There’s an old saying: “….. if you need to design and build something useful, don’t hesitate to make it beautiful….” The Countryman/Paceman concept makes business since, but they need a little fine-tuning.</p>
<p>Personally I think it looks quite nice, with an Eclipse
Gray body and roof (or a black roof) it would come off as rather sharp. Unfortunately it seems very under powered and
not very premium for its price tag. If
only the Paceman had the brass of the WRX, or the WRX had the style of the
Paceman. There are just too few manual
AWD small sports(ish) cars out there and even fewer that don’t come with complimentary
Rogaine or Viagra samples</p>

<p>So if the Paceman was smaller could it give a few clues to the shape and look of the 3rd generation MINI?</p>
<p>Not really.</p>
