As a reminder, we more or less already know what it will look like

Exactly. Remove the conceptual details and it is practically the same stylish car.
It will be a fantastic addition to the MINI brand.
I know a lot of people are excited about the brand new opportunities the Clubman will offer with its five dr layout. This could become the most popular MINI yet in certain markets especially with ALL4 and Plug-In Hybrid option.

wrong car to preview on this forum ... you got to admit you enjoy leading everyone on about the M2 at least a little bit, right?

by the way is there anything planned for the IAA in September?

hmmmm.... could be interesting. Hope the interior is a step up.

MINI is an entity of BMW group so it remains relevant on a BMW forum especially with a significant car as the MINI Clubman.
Here is your wagon North America when the F31 ends production.

No I don't as I said I am not overly familiar with the M2 as I am not as close as I was to the E82 the only M2s I see are the ones that enter and exit the FIZ.
I can only tell you details as I hear them.

The IAA will have many surprises, both for product and future innovation as a question of priority.

Perhaps this is why, the Queen is meeting with Angie in Berlin!

[SCOTT26]

There certainly is enough room for a meeting...

If it had an optional 3rd row, I'd be very interested.

MINI is due for a styling win.

I know. I love the Mini section in the Welt!

Well, if that's the business plan, that's disappointing. The F31 was way too expensive compared to the F30... not sure if this will fill the gap, but obviously BMW is putting its stake in the X-lines for North America. I continue to wish for a 5er touring vice the GT or X, but I have stated this ad naseum. Perhaps in my next 3-4 years in Europe I will bite the bullet and get a Euro spec F11 or maybe even a nice Alpina Wagon since I will never see them in the States.

This I understand as well... based on some people's posts back to you, they seem to think you are BMW's lead designer, spokesman, and CFO all in one.

Well, I was debating doing the drive from Belgium to check it out and hitting some nice wineries along the Rhine on the way back. If the BMW display is substantial, definitely worth the drive.

Looks good. The new MINI's have the BMW feel and drive amazingly.

In JCW aeropacket and wheels.

Mini is priced like Maxi. Not worth.

Rear and side (without hood) is nice, front is bad. I wonder what is wrong, today not a single car (supercars excluded) has a good looking 3/4 front. Wheel-to-wing ratio and "nose" are just so wrong.
