Concept Frankfurt: The New Mini Club Wagon

Just like the Chevy Cruze and the concept Chevy Orlando, Mini may be trying to capitalize on the re-emerging market of station wagon-esque rides. There are families out there that need a lot of space in their cars, and they want fuel efficiency just like the rest of us. My brother, for instance, has 6 kids and needs his SUV, but doesn’t want pay a small fortune to fill up the tank twice a day. So the market for lots of space + fuel economy is out there. That’s where this Concept Frankfurt fits.

Just like the old Mini Clubman, it features twin “barn doors” in the rear and a lengthened wheelbase. Check out the pictures:

Penultimate 2009 cruise-in – Hemi Mini, campaign bumper stickers and much more

Once or twice a year, we get a big blowout of a cruise night, when the cars start spilling out of our parking lot, onto Main Street and into the parking lot across the street. Last night was one of those nights, with an estimated 400 cars attending, and many of them cars we’ve never seen before, like the ‘79 AMX I wrote about last night. One more cruise night left this season, on August 20. Don’t miss it!
