New Mini named: Mini Crossman |
UPDATE 2008-01-09: New pictures online, unveiling it will definately be a 4x4
The MINI has been on a growth spurt since the introduction of the second-generation model. With the 3½-door Mini Clubman wagon on its way to dealerships, the new Mini convertible set to follow, and even a Mini sports-coupe derivative rumored to be in the works, the BMW division is focusing on the development of a crossover based on the MINI.
No big news there, we've been watching the spy shots roll in for months now. The surprise, however, is that it won't be called the Colorado as previously thought. No, that was just a working title, an internal codename. It won't be called the Monte, either, as previous reports suggested. According to a recent interview in German publication Auto Motor und Sport, MINI's CEO Kay Segler said the retro soft-roader will likely be called "Mini Crossman".
Magna-Steyr is expected to build 80,000 Mini Crossmans (Crossmen?) at its factory in Austria each year, starting in 2010. The name, of course, combines Crossover with Clubman, the wagon variant on which it's based. Think it'll entice more buyers than "Colorado" or "Monte"? Mini Crossman that is.....
