We have three Countrymans listed, two as "hatchback" and one as "wagon". I thought they were SUVs? |

They aren't really SUV's. Cross-over is the best word. For example the Nissan Juke, Kia Soul or Toyota Urban Cruiser. All Countrymans are the same. But not all of them are 4-wheel drive and there also is a sport version, called 'Cooper S'... and a rally-version. |

I think they should be listed as hatchbacks. |

But, doesn't Mini market these as crossovers? (in agreement with JENSDONT) I mean, if they're crossovers, they should be listed as SUV's, because there's no crossover classification. |

Well, 4WD is an option for the Countryman. Of course it´s a crossover, but unfortunately there´s no crossover classification, as you´ve said. I´m not an admin, but I think it´s quite a lot of work to introduce a new classification. |

Also, built in Austria (Magna Steyr). |

What's the link with 4WD? Lots of true SUV are not 4WD anyway. And the category is "SUV / Off-road", that could include cross overs too. As I said earlier, it is mostly to separate vehicles for searches, it is not useful to differentiate crossovers from SUV & off-road... |

But it would be useful to separate SUV and Off-Roaders. The differences are too big to let both in one category. A real Off-Roader is something total different than a trendy lifestyle-toy with a bit higher suspension and plastic-junk on sills and wheel arches. ![]() |

What would be the use of that? In the same way targa and convertibles are listed together. It is not useful to have infinite categories ![]() -- Last edit: 2011-07-23 12:11:51 |

God, these things are ugly. One of those cars I don't know why people decide to part with their hard-earned cash for. |
