can this brand be ripped from bmw by force yet?

You have to be a real idiot (at least auto ignoramus) to call that an SUV.
You'd have to be deuchebag to call it a CUV.

I guess for the US they need to butch it up our market by calling it an SUV instead of just saying: Hey look, we now offer a Mini Cooper 4dr!!

That thing is going to run 30-40K

Not my idea of a Mini but then again I couldn't believe it when Porsche started producing SUV's either.

A girl at work came in to the office with a new Mini Vert the other day but I haven't checked it out yet.

Don't they already have a 4 -door called a Clubman or something ?

They have a power up version called the clubman but I think its a restyled 2 door with a hatch or larger back seat/wheelbase.
I think its cute but no way I am passing up a Camaro or '11 Mustang at the same price...

I agree.

Ok this is why I "thought" there was already a 4 door version but I now see it's not.

No, the Mini Cooper S is the "power up" version.

The Clubman is indeed a bigger Mini (we call it the "Maxi"), with more room and barn doors out back. Seriously cute, IMO.

The Clubman has a rear hinged half door similar to those on extended cab pickups. It also has an extended wheelbase.

This is accidentally ugly. They should have gone intentionally ugly and done something similar to the Mini Moke.

the hood boys are gonna love it. you can finally put 20's on a mini.

looks like a POS, useless as an SUV and now useless as a well handling small car too.
