2011 MINI Crossman Spy Shots

MINI enthusiasts have a whole new reason to get excited, now that the name of the company's upcoming crossover has been released: Crossman.

The Crossman was previously referred to internally as the "Colorado" and will bring the MINI brand firmly into new territory. 2011 MINI Crossman is expected to ride higher than current models, and have all-wheel drive, making it a new option for weekend off-roaders. With these new capabilities, MINI plans to expand their customer base to include those young men who want something a little more "masculine" than the current MINI offerings.

The Crossman will be the first MINI to be assembled outside the U.K. Austrian manufacturer Magna Steyr will build the car, which is scheduled for release during the 2010 calendar year.
