I'm not crazy about the black bar that splits the back window in two. Other than that it's pretty cool.

| MINI Canada has apparently announced that the Clubman will be introduced in the 1st quarter of 2008. | |

How about the real issue at hand? EDMUNDS leaked info on the Clubman before they agreed to do so. Great job Edmunds....way to go...

Replying to: newdl (Jul 31, 2007 6:51 am) Oh please! This happens all the time. You think Motor Trend, Car & Driver and a bunch of other mags never release info before they should. Lots of info for them to wade through every month and sometimes it's a legitimate screwup and that just happens. These guys are writers they are not not building stuff for NASA. If i had a $1 for everytime a car magazine released info a few days off, I'd be filthy rich. Yes sometimes it's on purpose but often times it's all those conflicting deadlines. Mini relies on their magazines so they won't kill the goose that laid the golden eggs. They might yell at them or put them last in the lineup but in the end most of this info was released 2 months before you read it. It's called lead time and ALL magazines have it. TV shows might need 3-4 months lead time or longer. Don't get angry and don't worry, it's not like Mini websites will not have info including Edmunds. Unlike the Mini dealerships which are spread out far too thin and no new dealerships on the way. |

| The clubman is on www.miniusa.com and you can build it to your own specs. The pricing wasn't as bad as I thought. They have changed some of the packages and the cost on the packages have gone up (mostly $100 / package). Have fun!!! | |

| Has anyone seen any full tests of the Clubman? All of the reviews I've seen so far are from the first drive event in Madrid. | |

The Clubman is in the mini tradition. I lived in England in the early 70's and drove a used Mini that was based on the "Traveler" model which is very similiar to the new Clubman being discussed. The model I had was a "Traveler" without the side windows, no back seat, and the same dual back doors as the new Clubman. It was a Mini in delivery van form. The one I bought was an old used British Post Office delivery van. (paid USD $350.00) It ran great the whole time I had it, it handled like a sports car, I loved driving it, a lot of fun. It had great interior space, great gas milage, a extremely well designed car. I am sure the new Clubman version and the today's Mini will both be just as fun to drive, I don't think the Clubman will detract in any way. And for those who need a little extra space it will let them join the pleasures of the Mini world. |
