This is a very nice concept. Notice the open panel on rear of roof and the double rear doors. Great interior.

The Mini Traveller Countryman Concept:

Nice nose job. But today it SHOULD have been (COUNTRYPERSON!) To please the P.C. PINCO COMMIES! :lol: :P

Countryperson...too funny!!!....or Countrywomyn.

Yuck. That's nasty. What's the point of streching the Mini if it still has about 2 inches of rear legroom?

Much needed "trunk" space.

I like the concept of it... the airy greenhouse and all, though some parts are very Volvo-ish.

wow, :blink: that is nuts. but like you guys said... do u actually gain a single inch of leg room?

Making a Mini larger makes it no longer a Mini but some goofy Mini-dervied entry-level BMW product sold under the Mini nameplate.

A MINI is a MINI not just from its small size, but character and agility. There have been classic stretched Minis, Minis with truck beds, and Minis with VTEC engines... they're still Minis.

This is a concept, I suspect they will squeeze out a few more inches in the interior on the production model.

The headlights on this concept look slightly odd...not as good as the current Mini.

Why is the gear lever about 2" off the floor?
