What it Is

2008 Mini Cooper Clubman S -- 2007 Los Angeles Auto Show: Hey…it’s a Mini for grown ups! Or those who could use more doors, more room and easier access than that of the current Mini, anyway. The Clubman, which leaked to the motoring press about an eon ago and was officially debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show, offers more of what Mini customers aren’t really supposed to care about – mainly boring stuff like functionality and room – but does so in a clever package that’s just as cute as a four-legged bug. Priced to start at an MSRP of $20,600 for the Cooper and $24,100 for the Cooper S (plus $650 destination) the Clubman costs more, for more.
