Is this a new model or a typo?]]>Apr 2nd 2008 9:34AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/Apr 2nd 2008 1:00PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/Apr 2nd 2008 9:36AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/Apr 2nd 2008 10:06AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/Apr 2nd 2008 10:17AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/
having drive the SX4, it seemed underpowered and very 'base' even in other trims. the impreza only weighs a little more and length is unfortunately in overhangs but surprisingly has a tighter turn radius. It loses little in gas mileage and I've heard the Suzukis are notorious for getting worse gas mileage than competitors but may not be true case here.

I expect a longer heavier clubman with an AWD pkg will drive down the mileage on the Mini and it will be more in ]]>Apr 2nd 2008 11:20AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/Apr 2nd 2008 12:26PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/Apr 2nd 2008 10:29AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/Apr 2nd 2008 10:24AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/Apr 2nd 2008 11:01AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/Apr 2nd 2008 10:25PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/
"Mini wants to take its customers into off-road territory with the upcoming Crossman".

If this tester mule is any indication of the upcoming Crossman then offroad must mean a snowy driveway.]]>Apr 2nd 2008 11:16AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/Someday their wikipedia entry will be changed to "one of the largest german truck manufacturers".

And of course, if and when they make the Isetta, theyll need to have a SUV of that too.

Because there will always be lots of people who want to sit in the triendiest cars, but at the same time feel scared and inadequate if they aren't sitting above the roofline of most other cars.]]>Apr 2nd 2008 11:54AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/Apr 2nd 2008 12:07PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/Apr 2nd 2008 1:05PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/
I'm sick of every manufacturer trying to be everything to everyone. Why can't Mini stick to what it does best, and manufacture a small, fun to drive, safe, and attractive MINI vehicle? Instead, they will crank out an ugly CUV/SUV that leaves their roots in the dust, and gives us another hideous truck offering.

How about spending those development Euros on cleaning up their Mini D diesel's emissions and sending some here to the states? It would certainly cost them less, and guarantee continued sales for the Mini line.

IMHO, there are already TOO many SUV/CUV/trucks/whateverthehellyouwannacallthem out there already. ENOUGH! ]]>Apr 2nd 2008 1:14PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/Apr 2nd 2008 1:41PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/spy-shots-mini-crossman-flashes-its-rump/Apr 2nd 2008 3:10PM
