Geneva Gallery: 2012 MINI Countryman

by Edward Niedermeyer

Published: March 3rd, 2010

What happens when MINIs stop being mini and start getting real? Huge sales in America, probably. Luckily the return of the Moke is not as mawkish as we might have feared. And with four actual doors, passengers won’t have to perform fakir-worthy contortions to reach one of the rear seats alá MINI Clubman. Look for the Countryman at your local upscale supermarket parking lot starting in early 2011.

Why did they have to screw up the headlights? Minis should have round lights, not oblong fried eggs (last generation Porsche 911's, anyone?) Still, compared to the Nissan Puke, this thing looks like a supermodel... bet it sells well.

THX1136 What happened to the other companies that were going to build charging stations? Maybe I'm not remembering clearly OR maybe the money the government gave them hasn't been applied to building some at this point. Sincere question/no snark.
