I like the idea of a small BlueTec diesel - the larger Clubman could do better for mileage than the regular gas 1.6!
 
If not, then tier2 bin5 would be my next choice.

Can't really make out in the photo, but is that a 3rd door (suicide door) on the passenger side only?

A diesel for the US will be coming out sometime between 2012 and never.
 
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.

Yes. It is like the rear seat access door on the Saturn coupes.

will the clubman be a few hundred more than the base cooper? because the edmunds article said something about being more of a utilitarian and practical car than the back to basics 2 door hatch.
 
if there is a signifiant price jump however, my wife would still consider a base 2 door. (we are interested in the base clubman)

But I wonder if an utilitarian and practical MINI is an oxymoron? And if they do manage to make it practical, would it still fulfill the MINI mantra?

Well, the old Mini Clubmans sold pretty well. Tradesmen would use them in England when I lived there long ago. I think it will still fulfill the Mini mantra. It will only be a little bigger, the biggest difference will be the van-style rear doors.

yeah, i can't understand why so many people were hating on the design when it came out....when the original mini's were available like this as well!
 
we'll probably trade the bunny for it when it comes out...my wife misses having her own car, and right now i'm looking at getting an old honda or something.
 
When will they be hitting dealers?

Oh, I think the Clubman is at least a year away. I have a vague recollection of them saying it would be introduced as a 2009 model.
