March 14, 201214 yr William Maley Editor/Reporter - CheersandGears.com March 14, 2012 Back in August, we reported that Mini approved the Paceman concept shown at Detroit Auto Show. Now, we have learned a new name will be appearing. Car & Driver reports the new car will wear the Countryman Coupe nameplate when it comes out next year. The reason is due to the design of the Countryman Coupe being about 95% the same as the regular Countryman. Source: Car & Driver View full article
March 14, 201214 yr Cut car for little people. Pass as I can never fit in this or anything Mini makes. I think their max height is like 6' so us 6'6" are truly out.
March 14, 201214 yr Mini needs to change their ridiculous dashboards before i would even consider one ever
March 14, 201214 yr I have to disagree, Dfelt... I find the Mini coupes to be one of the better small cars for interior space. My only gripe being that the passenger seat actually has more room than the driver's seat. And I'm 6'4" and over 400. Is it comfortable for me? No... but its driveable for 2hrs a shot. Remember, I don't find the Malibu/Impala comfortable, either, though. I do recall the legroom being a tad tight... so if your a leggy 6'6", I could see it being a problem... as I'm all torso.
March 15, 201214 yr I like the Mini dashes, though the speedometer has gotten a bit large on the current generation. At least it's different from the usual bland generic dash layout..
March 17, 201214 yr Yes I think the naming is silly, but everyone seems to be going to silly names or stupid initials.
March 17, 201214 yr Looks interesting... will have to check this out if it's on display at the upcoming NYIAS.
