It should be out in the US in a few months. I think it may be something great for people who wanted a Mini but needed a bit more cargo and rear seat room. What do you think?

I hope they can keep the handling just as sharp in this longer-wheelbase model. I want to see a solid year or two, though, of good reliability data before I get too near a Mini. Which is about how much time we still have before the Clubman is for sale in the U.S., so that works out pretty well for me!

Replying to: nippononly (Jun 28, 2007 9:25 pm) how much more backseat room than the 2 door mini does the clubman offer?

Replying to: feliciatwo (Jul 02, 2007 9:13 am)  no one is making you buy it. my wife saw the pics that were posted; she thinks is a substantial difference between this and the mini; she was ok in the backseat of the mini, this will at least offer good space for small children and car seats. |

Replying to: nippononly (Jul 12, 2007 12:01 pm) Honda is already talking about a diesel that won't be here until 2010 http://www.digg.com/environment/Honda_to_bring_diesel_V6_to_U_S and BMW Mini hasn't even reached the "talking about it" stage yet. In that case, it is a really long way away before you see a US spec diesel Mini of any kind.
