The lines on a sedan wouldn't be pretty. I find the Clubman to be a bit 'stretched' already. I wonder if they'll pull off that rhino jeep that was spied not so long ago?

I'm so glad I have the R53 Mini - the new ones are getting a bit ridiculous with all the different variations. At least mine is still a MINI.

I fully agree! A sedan and a Jeep would be be wrong against the brand. I'd hope that they'll make a 4WD version of the 'real' Mini. I guess that RWD wouldn't work so well on a car with so short wheelbase.

AWD would be nice; i'd imagine it being like an VW R32. The MKIV R32's were a BLAST to drive.

Havn't driven that one, but I'd really like to. Then I recall the Golf that was featured in Top Gear where VW had put in the W12 in it and it wasn't so driveable at all. Perhaps that was a tad too much power for a car with that short wheelbase
