The best way to annoy a BMW executive is to ask about the new Mini station wagon.  In other words, the Mini Cooper Clubman.

Today, in the car business, the station wagon conjures up negative imagery.  It is the opposite idea that BMW wants associated with the Mini.

But if you really look at the Mini Clubman, it looks like a winner.  It can be considered a station wagon, but it is a fantastic one.

The Clubman has a smooth, clean design, is fuel-efficient, has innovative doors, and has plenty of room for luggage and rear passengers.

The mini is a big success story for BMW. When it was launched in 2001, BMW was hoping to sell 150,000 a year.  This year it is projected that 240,000 Minis will sell, with the help of the Clubman.

Consumers want to purchase realistic cars that are fuel-efficient.  BMW has delivered.  Motorists can buy this car with the addition of an auto warranty and rest assured that they made a wise purchase.
