"According to a report by German publication Auto Motor und Sport, MINI intends on showing a cargo van version of the current MINI Clubman in late February 2012 at the Geneva Motor Show. The concept (which could be very close to production) reportedly will feature two seats and a flat load floor. Gone are the rear windows and in their place sheet metal.

Rumor has it MINI wants to bring this version of the Clubman to market as a way to capture commercial sales in Europe that are currently not served by the MINI brand. It’s unknown whether or not MINI intends to import the car to the North American market."

Cue the MINI bashing, but i really like that i must say :P since my mum owning one of the new ones I have grown to like them, no they're not the same car evolved like people think, but a good car thats a bit more original than the standard euro-box. Also think of the JCW Clubman Van! Shovels and excrement spring to mind :P

Unless you can put a pallet in the back of it ( which I doubt because of it's shape ) it'll not even make a dent on the small van, micro van market...
