Autoweek's Answer To The Question "Do I Want [A Paceman]?"

Autoweek looks at the 2013 MINI Paceman and ultimately asks "Do I Want It?"  Reviewer Mark Vaughn responds:
We couldn't help seeing this as the X6/Crosstour/1973 VW Fastback of the Mini line. Is it the answer to the question no one asked? You get most of the increased interior room of a Countryman but without the convenience of the Countryman's four doors. Style is something you can't define but you know it when you see it. If you were looking for a more practical Mini that offers up a bit more stylish geometry with 4wd as an option, this could be your ride. It arrives in dealerships March 2013. Pricing and a few other details will be announced at the LA auto show, but expect it to cost around $30,000.
