The MINI Paceman – a two-door version of the Countryman MINI refers to as a sport activity coupe – is slowly going through the process of turning into a production model. To stop us from forgetting about it, MINI released a couple of pictures of its production prototype on its Facebook page. It looks basically the same as the concept car, apart from the taillights that appear to be changing slightly.

The Countryman itself is unnecessarily big with not much space inside the cabin and an annoying console thing where the rear middle seat would have been. Who would look at that and think it’s too practical, let’s remove the rear doors! That said, the Paceman would be an alternative for those who want to buy a normal MINI, not for its size, but for the way it looks. It has a high-riding driving position and a tiny bit of off-road capability.
