In case you haven\u2019t heard the reports, the next-generation MINI Countryman will grow to become just about as large as the Audi Q3<\/a>. That seems highly plausible since spy shots have shown the not-so-mini crossover looking like a fully fledged compact model. The reason we are bringing this up is that going down this road could free up room in the lineup for a smaller model. Enter the MINI Paceman. Or maybe Aceman?<\/p>\n Indeed, it would seem the quirky three-door small crossover is due to return. The lesser-known model built by Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria had a short life cycle of only about three years. MINI axed the Paceman because executives were concerned it was positioned too close to the Countryman. In other words, they were worried it cannibalized sales, thus deciding to phase it out in 2016.<\/p>\n
