While we still have not seen either in full production form we can start the argument right now! Would you rather the 5 door MINI or the Clubman? No you're not allowed to say the Cooper in case you were thinking about it

These are Renders of the 5 door:

Clubman Concept:

considering we dont know much about the clubman or how much it will cost and that its not really out yet

the choice is pretty clear now isnt it

The clubman looks amazing, far more appealing than the 5 door and even the countryman. To me the clubman looks like a compressed Range Rover Evoque!

we know next to nothing about either of them cost wise. We know both will be on the same F56 platform and engine choices will be identical across the model line...

Clear as mud bud...

Makes sense, they seem to be based on the same platform from these pictures.

Looks like an Austin Maxi to me certainly no Mini

haha it sure does, now that you posted that, it comes to mind when ever viewing the mini 5 door

I thought the F54 was to be on a platform more like the R60 rather than the F56 with its longer length & a longer wheelbase?? Since the F55 will only be about 2 inches longer than the F56, I assume it'll have the same wheelbase. Would guess that the F55 will probably be priced around 1.5K (in $) more than the F56.

Is the F56 now reaching dealers over there in Britain/Euro market yet? Have yet to hear when they'll get here in the U.S. other than 'sometime' in April! We 'still' don't have 'official' mileage figure posted here from MINIUSA. Looking forward to seeing the F56 closely in the flesh, so I can get a better idea about the F55 due out this fall. That may likely be my next one to replace my current JCWCoupe...more practical for me in my everyday driving.

The F56 is launched in the UK this weekend. Most dealers are having some sort of event over the next few days.
Customer deliveries are imminent...yay

does anyone know where we could expect to see a clubman production version, let alone deliveries to begin?
