MINI Releases First Teaser Video of New Crossover

I like the Grey (Parklane) colour better than the white but I would have the white non the less.

The thing is though I'm not sure I would own this straight away look how long it has taken to iron out the faults in the R56 as long as it's taken for the facelift to come out which I guess is the norm really.

Interesting to see if the handling still feels like a mini too.

I must say that looking at the photos again I really like this . The interior is very nice and I like the idea of having 4 passenger doors for a change (rather than the two and a half I have on my Clubbie ). I wasn't sure about it being a "4x4" but I believe only the Cooper D and Cooper S will have the four-wheel drive system so that would help traction enormously from a performance point of view rather than for mud-plugging!

Plus, I like my car to be different from the mainstream and this would certainly fit the bill .

[Scottie]

so it's all official now

Cooper D it is for me then I so glad that I have waited now.

Well.. unfortunate thing is, i have to work with MINI's all day, and all i can say is it was fine until they bring this out :( which i really dont like the look of

well speaking of the X1, it is actually only 12cm higher than the actual 1 series, and obviously LCI (Life cycle impulse / Facelift) looks aswell.

If its anything like the X1, then you can have a choice of S-Drive or X-Drive versions, so i possibly assume that it can be the same for this aswell.

Certainly interesting and god I could have done with that a few weeks back to get up the drive. Don’t fancy the front grille at all but if the standard Mini keeps its cheeky look then its ok to have a bigger brother.

Your not going to be able to see much out of the back of that!! so I think PDC will be a must have.

That interior pic looks really nice, tho I'm not to sure if I like the way the handbrake is now... and the second pic I was like WTF, not sure if I like that it looks kinda cheap and nasty, and those cupholders are HUMUNGOUS so this is definately aimed at the american market with their huge drink bottles and fast food drink cups the rear passengers seem to only be getting an elbow rest and not an arm rest... lol

[Stewart]

I do like the centre switches that still have the Mini design but looks more grown up, not a fan of my existing playschool buttons for my AC/Heated Rear. But that slide for the Cup holders is nasty.

Oh and I REALLY REALLY wish MINI would put a regular stereo back in the car so we can change them to our own likeing if and when we wish... this is still one of the biggest things that bugs me about these R56s!!
