Maybe this is what Chrysler is waiting for. How long will it take for Fiat to bring the 500 Diesel from Italy to compete with MiniClubman Diesel–especially while BMW is dragging their feet.

My diesel (July 2008) had split windshield in first month, faulty start-stop (cannot find fault!), run flat tyre at £134 ($200) and does only 45.6 mpg - not 62 mpg as advertised. Also the UK version has a Peugot 207 engine!!!! (previously used a Toyota engine). Also the gearing ratio is odd -very difficult to get to 6th gear without dropping revs and power so only OK for desert driving. Finally turning circle is actually worse than a Toyota Rav 4 .

We have a new administration now that might be more receptive. I will be among the first to sign. Maybe all of us that wrote in could start a petition to get this car built or imported in the US.

While BMW is at it, it can also develop Coopers that can use Propane and/or NatGas and/or Alternative Hybrid power.
