Autocar - First for car news and reviews

The Mini Countryman junior SUV is just one of three variants that will be based on this new Mini platform - and could also form the basis of a rally car for the WRC.

After the Countryman hits the showrooms next September, the next model to be launched is expected to be a lower-riding five-door Mini aimed at young families.

 Apart from all the crap versions i welcome a WRC model. It wont be a diesel though, so if they do do a 200bhp diesel model it wont be the WRC version, that will be a 1.6 turbo petrol with a bit more than 200bhp.

WRC cars are 1.6 petrol turbo in the new FIA regulations.

Although i'm just presuming, BMW may do something stupid and promote diesel....But it would fly in the face of the direction of international motorsport, which is becoming diesel free thankfully.
