    LOL!! Where did you find that? Looks like everyone want in on the sub-compact SUV market. Too bad for them that the Jeep Renegade is a 4WD and in a class all its own :)

    It's not available yet:

    "This latest creative vision for the MINI brand demonstrates the level of talent at work amongst the BMW Group’s young apprentices. The MINI Paceman Adventure combines the drive technology of the 135 kW/184 hp MINI Cooper S Paceman ALL4 with an innovative two-seater pick-up vehicle concept. The passenger compartment ends behind the front seats where the spacious cargo area for luggage, tools and equipment begins. In addition, a solid roof rack can accommodate a spare wheel.

    The MINI Paceman Adventure would be suitable for driving on gravel roads, through muddy tracks or on desert trails. The pickup has the typically MINI short overhangs, a modified chassis with extended ground clearance and much higher front and rear clearance ramps. The snorkel-like roof level air intake means that MINI Paceman Adventure could tackle a challenging river crossing. Additional lights mounted on the front cross member of the roof rack optimize visibility at night, while special off-road tyres with wide and deep treads guarantee the perfect traction. The MINI Paceman Adventure features exclusive Jungle Green metallic paintwork."

    Well, after staring at it for a while, I have to say that it doesn't look too bad... it may even grow on me. That being said, I think it's further proof that more and more manufacturers are going to be getting into this sub compact SUV market and that the Jeep Renegade will be a leader in it.

    That's more of a rally car then anything else.
