Not much for the pick up - but the new Mini Clubman looks great... not sure about the small rear passenger door on the drivers side but apart from that I really like it.
Cooper D Clubman starts at £15,400, Cooper S Clubman starts at £17,210. Goes on sale Saturday 10th November 2007... shame i've already ordered my new car

Don't be sorry, 17K for a BMW Cooper get's you poverty spec, and even 17K is a lot of money for a shoebox

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the old mini estate either called the countryman or traveller (depending on whether it was made of wood), and the clubman was something completely different (square headlights) and not neccessarily an estate. Therefore it seems to me that they've actually named this new mini estate completely wrong.

As they are calling it a traveller they should add the wood to it, then I'd call it the SHED that it is

Not square head lights, but a much squarer front that the usual mini, iirc

Bit small for a shed. How about "Dog Kennel"?

That is a clubman

This is a standard mini.
And this is the new mini traveller...
