Just like the Chevy Cruze and the concept Chevy Orlando, Mini may be trying to capitalize on the re-emerging market of station wagon-esque rides. There are families out there that need a lot of space in their cars, and they want fuel efficiency just like the rest of us.

That’s where this Concept Frankfurt fits.
Just like the old Mini Clubman, it features twin “barn doors” in the rear and a lengthened wheelbase. Check out the pictures:
