MINI Crossman Crossover Hits N?rburgring

I doubt it.

I like it, actually. Quite a bit. I love small cars and would prefer to drive something B- or C-segment. I hike, bike, kayak, ski, and camp, and need something with the cargo room to carry stuff and the ground clearance to take a poorly maintained road. The current crop of compact SUVs are too large for my tastes, and drive too poorly. I want something that's not a chore to drive on a nice twisty road. Oh, and I demand 30-34mpg highway. So I'm a perfect example of somebody who'd buy a compact crossover that's been 'Ring tuned, gets great gas mileage, can be driven on a choppy road, and isn't the size of a barge. And I personally know 10 people who'd seriously consider this. Oh, and nobody thinks you're cool for dumping on SUVs. Outside the echo chamber of car forums, crossovers and SUVs are useful cars that fit people's needs better than whatever glorified econobox you drive. People have different needs and wants than you, and your inability to understand that is friggin' juvenile.
