2008 Mini models to get AWD?

According to the last number from Auto Motor Und Sport, the 2008 Mini models will be available with all-wheel drive system.

It’s not entirely clear if this will be available to all models of the Clubman or all models of the MINI, but we presume is about all the models. And it would make sense that, if the technology was available to the R56 based Clubman, it would be available for the rest of the R56 range. However we have our doubts that MINI has any plans for AWD in anything but the R58.
