Mini has given the green light to a production version of the Mini Paceman concept shown at this years North American International Auto Show. The conformation comes from Mini's chief Kay Segler. The Paceman is a three door version of the Mini Countryman and both will share architecture and powertrain. The Paceman could have a different name, but will carry the same design as the concept. If your interested in the Paceman, you'll have to wait till either 2013 or 2014.

hmmm...I'd have liked to see them use that roof design on the coupe. it works a lot better.

I'm happy any time a new 2-door vehicle comes to market. It looks good. Does this mean the new tiny Jeep will have a 2-door bodystyle as well?

You know how Porsche sells 23 different 911 variations, and it seems slightly absurd? I wonder how many variations on a single theme Mini can pull off.

I can't read that name without seeing

If they bring the Paceman out, then they will have 7 bodystyles... (hatch, cabrio, 2 seat coupe, 2 seat roadster (coming), Clubman, Countryman, Paceman..)

There are a few bodystyles the original Mini had that they haven't done yet--the Mini van and pickup, the Moke.

Agreed.

hahaha great, now I'll have that stuck in my head every time I see it.

I do like that a new two door vehicle came to market...
