The new Mini has been a strong hit, and it was just a matter of time before the good folks at BMW figured out a way to expand the lineup. That may sound easy to do, but consider the challenge behind updating and adding to what is in essence a complete retro vehicle with present-day equipment. From the looks of it, we think they did a marvy job of it, and may be onto something. While the Clubman would never come close to replacing the original, it’s a perfect bookend for people who want the Mini vibe but with room to exhale. Plus, with gas prices on the rise again, this may be a perfect solution for young families with a desire to be hip and efficient.
