2011 Mini Crossover Countryman Photos
Thought I'd share a link to the first three photos of the 2011 Mini Countryman/Crossman we posted over at Jalopnik:

We're following up on this story so, hopefully, we'll have more news soon.
(I hope this is the right part of the forum to post this, let me know if it needs to be moved.)
Cheers,
Matt

I would have posted it here as well!
I have to say I kind of like it, but, is 4 doors and AWD true to MINI?

The day I ordered my Clubman back in 2007, I told the sales manager I would die for a 4 door AWD MINI and he told me that if I would have waited a couple of more years, I would get my wish. He told me he was at BMW in Germany and he was told that it was on the drawing board. I'm not saying I "settled" for a Clubman, it was the best MINI for me at the time. I would have gladly chosen a Countryman since it fills all of my requirements: Light offroad capabilities(snow/mud/heavy rain), 4-doors, premium small vehicle size, MINI styling, and performance.

Why? I love my Clubman but it isn't an AWD type vehicle. It is a small sports wagon which has a road sport design. A little bit of snow and you will be dragging the undercarriage and the front air dam, while trying to plow through the snow. You can throw on some all seasons or snow tires and go play but should you even though you can? The Countryman will be a MINI...but with a taller stance, 4 doors, and AWD. Like it or not, I'm thinking this will be a huge seller if BMW/MINI also tout ruggedness and reliability.

The problem they will have selling it is because the rear seats are bucket only with no bench option in the US. Part of the purpose of getting a Mini SUV for me would be to be able to carry bigger objects with the seats folded down. How do you fold down bucket seats, they are not going to be flat? If they were only going to put buckets in (due to new US law) they would be better off putting all wheel drive on the Clubman. At least you can fold the seats flat for carrying things in a Clubman.

I was at the Clubman release party back in February '08 and everyone there was amazed how small the Clubman appeared in person compared to all of the information released before on it. The picture of the female with the white Countryman show that it is up to her shoulders. This being the All4 version, I'm thinking it may be the tallest Countryman being released.
