I’d love to see both the MINI-D and the MINI-E in the US in mass quantities. I drive an 08 Cooper S and I get outstanding overall mileage 30+ with both city and highway driving, and I don’t drive conservatively, just ask my son . Bottom line it’s a gas to drive!!! (Pun intended)

Politics aside, it’s the emissions work that has been holding the MINI D back from sale here in the States … that and (likely) the price differential between diesel fuel and gasoline.

The price gap between premium gasoline (which all MINIs require) and diesel fuel is narrowing.

I would not be surprised to see the MINI D available in the USA by 2010. Although I’m not putting money on it, I have my fingers crossed …

They don’t sell the Mini-D in the USA Polly because it would put too many vested interests out of business. God forbid that people who have money, lose money, not matter what the cost to everyone else. As for not meeting emissions standards I’ve seen NO literature. As to whether or not the globe is warming, I have seen plenty.

prolly cuz they don’t meet the emissions standards, and we’re major idiots for believing that the world is getting warmer (research the flipside of the that opinion).
