There is a new MINI in town. The MINI Countryman is the first true four door MINI and is arriving in the U.S. in early 2011. This "New MINI" is MINI's take on an SUV; it's higher off the ground and features a "tougher grille" than previous models. All the specifics and details will be available on mini.com/newmini on February 7, 2010. In the meantime, check out MINI's promo video:

It seems to me this new larger model will create a whole new breed of MINI drivers. It will appeal to people who have larger families or the need for more space. Additionally, the rumored four wheel drive option could appeal to consumers in colder climates. One step closer to MINI domination.
