    Looks a bit like a small Countyman. It's quite nice would still have a 3 door though

    I agree. A great addition to the range but I like the 3 door best.

    It is a wee bit more MINI than the Countryman.

    I dunno I think it looks wrong I think they should've just had the 3dr and the Clubman but this will cater for those who want a small 5dr car and so sell more MINI's

    I just think it's out of proportion. Need to see it in the flesh but it's maybe because the hatch has been 3 doors for 13 years and it just looks strange...

    Its not bad, got bit of a BIG BUTT but not too bad and looks good in electric blue will have to see what it looks like in the flesh tho and also see what the new clubby looks like compared to this.

    It's looks OK from some angles, but a bit cut-and-shut from other angles. But I can see the commercial reason behind it. In fact, I'm surprised it's taken them this long.

    Edit: But at long last a return to the lovely electric blue. Actually I'm not sure that is the exact same as electric blue, it looks a shade darker, but it's a lovely blue all the same.

    Interesting... and probably quite handy in 'real world' use. Good for folks who need extra doors but don't need a Countryman.
    Funny how the Lightning Blue looks more 'Hatch' while the darker blue looks more 'Coutryman' - or is that just me?
