MINI Clubman
The MINI family is getting a new big brother. The MINI Clubman ($TBA) retains the trademark styling and agile handling, but gains new proportions, split-rear doors and a passenger-side suicide door. The 5-door Clubman has 9.45 more inches of body length and a wheelbase that's extended by 3.15 inches, offering more leg and storage room. The Clubman will go on sale in the U.S. early next year with two models — the MINI Cooper Clubman (120-hp, 1.6-litre 4-cylinder) and the MINI Cooper S Clubman (175-hp, 1.6-litre 4-cylinder with twin-scroll turbocharger).

If Alex Were A Girl

This is the birthday cake I would be making for him. Instead, we will all be enjoying a vanilla Transformer's cake. Our little man turns twelve tomorrow. I have a feeling it's all downhill from here (at least until his twenty-seventh birthday).

You can find the giant cupcake mold here.
