When the hell are Mini going to make a Ute? It would be more popular than this thing – which is essentially just a Jacked Up Clubman with extra rolled flares.

Its just Mini’s take on the Nissan Dualis.
I think its cool, then again the more ridiculous a car is the more I like it.

This is the second answer to the question no-one asked-the first was the Mini Clubman. Certainly has a variety of doors but why not one in the roof-not a sun roof but a proper door. Further, instead of a bonnet, how about a door there too. The sad thing about this ‘car’ is that some people ill find it ‘adoorable’.

Pointless, vulgar designer landfill.
Issigonis would be mortified to see this further transgression of his original concept. It was only just bearable with the first ‘remake’.

Yeah, we miss out on many cars from around the world. As for Avensis, they have combined lexus like rear end to a more toyota like front end and i quite like the design over all. Better than Camry i reckon.

it reminds me of a mini Subaru. In all fairness I’m not a fan of the mini for physiological reasons. . . . in short…i’m tall

To be honest…it looks like a toaster with a surboard attachment…

O, new Avensis has no real importance to the Australian market, however i do like the new one. It looks much better than the old one, and the interior looks nicer than Camry.

this is great BMW is evlolving minis look no one want s to see the next gen minis look exactly the same or take the “jaguar route” BMW has to eveolve the look and i really like it. I would say that the rear doors will both be made into normal doors for production to cut costs etc

This thing is as pointless as the other one with the weird suicide door, the clubman I think. Yet again they will not change it around for right hand drive and the sliding door will be on the kerb side for us. With this one the normal door will open out into the traffic for us thus defeating its original intention. Just like the clubman. Mini are going from wacky to wanky.

i LOVE it.

always been an ENORMOUS fan of the Mini, and this thing as awesome!

not a big fan of the green and white colour scheme Mini have chosen, but that in black or blue with the white/silver roof would look absolutely ace.

i’d buy one!

loooove it! =]

I don’t like the asymmetric door arrangement, seriously who thinks that’s a good idea? Not sure about the roof at the back, seems bit bloated and too chunky, and i wonder how much of the interior will actually make it into production.

I think the car will sell well, and i hope the price won’t be too much above the normal MINI which is already quite expensive. Furthermore, in the current Eco climate, would be wise if they offer a cheaper, lighter and more fuel efficient 2wd version as well. Seriously, who will buy this car for offroading?

Looks like the Swiss Army knife of cars. If there is a snob somewhere who might buy it, why not make it? That seems to be the rationale these days.
