At prototypal take, it’s not cushy to accept the 2011 Mini Countryman crossover. We understand. But after our first drive of the pint-sized CUV, it started to attain more sense. We’re hoping to hit kindred revelations most a coupe edition of the Countryman, which is reportedly existence thoughtful within Mini’s creation utilization department. That’s correct – a Mini X6.

Mini is allegedly blistering most the intent of doing a Countryman-based coupe after sight Land Rover entry its Range Rover Evoque, which has a two-door configuration, diminutive proportions and a coupe-like styling theme. Autocar reports that if this send gets the naif light, we would more than probable wager the Countryman Coupe around 2013 with a four-door layout that ditches customary lateral entryways for a ordered of slayer doors. On crowning of that, the coupe would hit a shorter lateral hang than the CUV and such shallower lateral windows. Think lifted, unconventional Clubman.

We’ll already be sight a creation edition of Mini’s Coupe construct discover on the streets in the nearby future, but wait the two-door Countryman to be vastly different, kindred to the artefact that a BMW 3 Series coupe and an X6 are totally oppositeness vehicles. As a crossover, we’ve grown to kinda same the Countryman, but actuality be told, there’s a bounteous conception of us that’s hoping this coupe send only fades into the depths of the rumormill.
