Someone on the Cruze Hatchback thread was asking for another wagon entry in this segment. Here it is.

I kinda want one.

This could very well be my next car (unless Volvo gives us the next-gen V40).  My Mum and Dad were here recently and getting my 6'1" Dad into the back of the C30 was a PITA.  My Mum is about 5'7", but she has a bad back and cannot contort herself to get into the back seat.  4-doors are a must!

Wow.  That is much nicer than expected and looks much better than the 5 door... Proportions seem to be better.

Wow, it's quite wide so it could actually be useful as a five-seat family wagon.

I think it looks great. The proportions are on point and not as awkward as the five-door's.

I wonder where this leaves the Countryman. Perhaps the next Countryman will be an Outback-ified Clubman?

It certainly looks like a real wagon but will the price  be premium or prosaic ?

In any case, I welcome all wagons to our wagon loving nation.

Ford. Toyota, Honda what say you?

I want those seats. Love that pattern. Colour is OK if my wife likes it.



Note: My chances of getting this car is slim to none.

It looks a bit like a shrunken Ford Flex -- except the Flex has a better looking face.  Mini needs to do something about that across the range (Countryman looks OK) -- MkI and II looked cute - the face of MKIII looks like a frog (bug-eyed Impreza syndrome strikes again), and the taillights should be vertical on the Clubman, not horizontal -- they look like they came off a 1998 Corolla. 

Even if they don't change the face, I'd seriously consider getting one
