An innovative AWD system for MINI (by Getrag) has been ready for years, yet was put on ice till introduction of an appropriate model to carry such system.
3 possible variants: MINI Moke - kind a Mini off-roader, an "offroad" version of Mini Traveller / Clubman wagon (xTraveller), or a Honda Element / Scion xB funky AWD van.
According to my info xTraveller is the most possible variant to come in the future.
Btw, MINI is also considring to offer Mini Coupe - a coupe below 2er - kind a mini Aston Martin in appearance.
