2008 Mini Clubman
Monday, July 30, 2007 4:02 PM
The Clubman is nearly 9.4 inches longer than a standard coupe, granting a 9-inch boost in cargo space and an extra 3 inches of rear legroom. In spite of this boost, cars headed to the U.S. seat only four passengers; European-spec models squeeze an extra seating position on the rear bench seat.
In order to access the new created space, Mini added a total of three doors to the Clubman. A small Saturn-style half-door lies behind the passenger door, allowing rear-seat passengers extra room to slide inside. The Clubman also bypasses the rear liftgate in favor of two side-hinged "barn doors," much like the original Traveler.
The Clubman will be available in Cooper (120-hp, 1.6-liter I4) weighing in at 2689lbs, Cooper S (175-hp, turbocharged 1.6-liter I4) weighing at 2821lbs. Look for the Clubman in American showrooms in the first quarter of 2008.

The longer wheel base is cool, but I'm not liking the demi-door.

ick... i prefer the first gen Minis, not the originals, but the 'new' first gens... the new ones are just too big! they should call it an "Average," because it's not even Mini anymore

Well, it looks like another total agreement by the JBO

The doors look too long which throws the rest off. If they could shorten them it might look decent but I'm still uncertain.

The entire rear end is killing it for me.
