Agreed, re-using old names or just advancing the model through the years with updates is not always a negative thing. While the current Clubman has a retro style, it is very much along the same lines as the first, not in style but in function. It's a capable commuter with the geometry and function to handle it's self on spirited club rides, much like it predecessors.
