    So how do you decide 4-door hatch or clubbie?

    Think the difference between Clubbie and four door will be the rear door. Clubbie as it is now, 4 door will be a hatch, like the old Maxi was.

    I guess so Malcolm. I was also wondering if there was a significant overall size difference. The current Clubbie is a longer beast than the hatch. The images in that link from Ken shows a fairly long car. If I recall correctly, the four door hatch isn't hugely longer than the 2 door hatch.

    Look at the link again, you can clearly see barn doors, and, only to keep Big Col happy, that Clubman front end is extremely hideous

    Think you will be right I am looking forward to this coming out !!

    I remember us all say the same things about the R56 and look now most of us have one or have come to like them a lot more now then we first did

    I was never keen on the clubman but really like it now don't think I love it the same way I loved the GP tho !!
    New sig coming soon
