Hi Everyone,

I am driving a new Beetle diesel and am very happy with the gas millage. Now I read that the Mini Diesel gets 58 Miles per Gallon. That is more then the hybrids do.

I want my next car to be a Mini Diesel. I read on this boards, that there are other people like me that want own a Mini D here in the US too.

Forums are great, but it is tough to find out how big the demand really is. I have created a request at PublicMind, a website that does demand aggregation.

Please sign that request. If enough people sign, it will be attractive for an importer to fill a container and go through the hoops of making it available for us here. Or if the rush is really good, we may convince BMW to get it over here earlier.

Side question, can anyone explain to me why VW does not sell their diesel cars in California anymore?

Thanks in advance, Mark.
