Autocar.uk (http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/AllCars/252508/) has published a rendering of the upcoming Mini Sport Activity Coupe (or what some have dubbed the Countryman Coupe or Mini X6).

According to Scott26 (http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=426596), "Such a vehicle is being worked on which will be seen soon as a Concept."

The idea for the Mini Sporty Activity Coupe comes in response to Land Rover's Range Rover Evoque, with its two-door coupe styling and configuration. According to Autocar, if the Mini SAC makes production, it would hit the market around 2013, in a 4 door layout (rear doors being suicide doors to maintain the coupe-ish shape and form). Compared to the Countryman, it would have shorter rear overhangs and shorter side windows.

Super aggressive look! I'd love to see Mini make something like that. Would answer some people's criticism that the Minis are too cutesy.

Great render. I love how BMW is expanding the Mini brand so aggressively.

I know the purists don't like it but just goes to show you the success of the Mini brand in general.

I hope it's more like that sketch than a mini X6. Mini X6 is going to look like a Nissan EX35 (not a good thing).
