Looks like competition for the Impreza 5dr Outback (which is rated at 20/27mpg) , with either the 1.6L na or turbo could take some potential subaru customers away. With the Clubman rated at 26/34 this will probably see figures of 23/30ish which is still better than the Impreza. The only con would be that minis require premium.

 

Personally id buy an AWD Mini if it was the same size/styling of the current gen Coopers.

with looks like that... i don't think subaru has to worry until the 2010 impreza which will look like a pink flamingo... than i see this eating some market share.

Kinda looks like a infiniti SUV railed a mini and this ugly vehicle was created

Why does everything with AWD have to have an SUV look. Just slap that AWD drive system on a current cooper S and let the good times roll

[05GT Guru]

agreed

maybe cause the awd system takes up more room so they lift it and also added cabin room to accommodate it?

That is all sorts of awesome. I really like that.

Doubtful, as in stock form it would be all sorts of slow. Still pretty cool though.

That is all sorts of fulgly.

Does a king of cars have to be all sorts of fast?

Just to clear things up, i wanst refering to that 4x4 thing. I was refering to an awd mini cooper s, not that slow, 7.1 in fwd so how much could you knock off for awd?
