They've called it a non-specific "Concept Frankfurt," which means it could reprise the Morris Mini Traveller, the Austin Mini Countryman or Clubman Estate names at will, when the production model appears (and you know it will, though they're not giving details). Like its three predecessors, the concept features twin "barn doors" in the rear and a lengthened wheelbase, though unlike those spartan vans, it's sleeker and flashier than the Liberace Museum. Plus, the driver and passenger seats appear to hover over the floor, due to a novel attachment device. Coolio.
