The new Mini will come in two wheelbase lengths, allowing the development of three new versions. The long-wheelbase versions will be a Clubman five-door, with rear-hinged rear passenger doors like the Mazda RX-8 and van-style twin rear doors, reminiscent of the 1960s original Mini Countryman wagon.
I count seven variations if this is correct. A five door with suicide doors and a five door with sliders.
I can't help thinking that apart from the four-door models, these variations will not broaden the appeal of MINI. I can however see existing mini buyers going for them as second cars.
