Strange car, what is this?
I saw this thing in Dana Point this morning, special Calif plates, I thought it had the look of a large Mini but I haven't seen anything about a LARGE Mini coming out.

Mini is coming out with an SUV. It was covered on Fast Lane Daily this week.

Mini Clubman I think (split rear doors/dual rear wipers)

It looks a lot like a Mini Clubman. Do a google image search for "spy shot mini clubman" and see if it is not the exact same "dazzle paint job." Tail lights are weird though.

That is the "camo" that Mini is using on their test cars.

To bad they can't camouflage the fact that Mini's are crap.

I looked at the wheels, we were at a light, I had time, but I didn't see anything I recognized. I just thought it looked like a stretched Mini.

Fiat has a SUV now too but it doesn't look like the one in the commercials.

Obviously a new four door Clubman at least to my eyes. They already have the four door HT and the Countryman has bulged fenders.

How long are they going to keep calling them "Minis"?

Does it really matter?
You can't polish a turd, and that thing looks like crap, no matter how you try to camouflage it. Heh heh, Maxis
