Geneva Gallery: 2012 MINI Countryman

by Edward Niedermeyer

Published: March 3rd, 2010

What happens when MINIs stop being mini and start getting real? Huge sales in America, probably. Luckily the return of the Moke is not as mawkish as we might have feared. And with four actual doors, passengers won’t have to perform fakir-worthy contortions to reach one of the rear seats alá MINI Clubman. Look for the Countryman at your local upscale supermarket parking lot starting in early 2011.

Why did they have to screw up the headlights? Minis should have round lights, not oblong fried eggs (last generation Porsche 911's, anyone?) Still, compared to the Nissan Puke, this thing looks like a supermodel... bet it sells well.

Dave Has to be Indy 500. Many more leaders and front passes than NASCAR, and Monaco is unwatchable with the inability to pass on that circuit.
Jeff How did the discussion get from an article about a 56 billion dollar pay package for Elon Musk to a proposal to charge a per mile tax on EVs in California or paying increase registration on vehicles to make up for lost gas tax revenue? I thought such a discussion would better fit Matt's Gas Wars series.
Master Baiter Both people who bought ID.4s will be interested in this post.
Urlik Not a single memorable thing happened in the big three races this weekend IMHO.
Ajla If Goodyear makes rain tires that allow NASCAR to race in damp conditions at longer ovals (other that at Daytona and Talladega) then I promise to purchase at least four new sets of Goodyear tires in my remaining life.
