MINI on Steroids?

If all is going to plan, we should have left Denver this morning on our way to Copper Mountain and MINIs In The Mountains.

So today, I figured it only made sense to do a MINI post.  Take a look at this?  At quick glance, it looks like just another MINI (if there is such a thing!)... but look closer... something seems a bit different...

Meet the 2008 MINI Clubman!  If a MINI Cooper is... well, too mini... for you, perhaps this SUV version of it will fit the bill. 

Honestly, I am not to sure what to think about it.  Part of the charm of the MINI is its size, its race car/go-kart history, and that Euro small car feel... so this seems just slightly wrong to me... heck, I'm not even that fond of the Toyota FJ Cruiser which I think is too Cooper-esque with its bright-colored body/white roof combo.  So who knows, the Clubman is kinda cool... so it will probably grow on me... maybe.

Thanks to Jeff for leading me to the Clubman article (click to read and see more about it).  While you think I must eat, drink, and sleep all things MINI... more often it is my fellow blogging friends who pass these things along to me!

Have a nice weekend... hopefully we're having some good weather to motor around the Rockies and across the Continental Divide!
