Can anyone confirm this rumor, and provide more info, such as a) which dealers and b) when?

I can't confirm it, but it sure would be nice if it is true. At one point last year, (before everything got screwed up), MINIUSA was planning on as many as 5 or 6 dealers in this state, so 3 would be on the low side.

Just curious how Ralph Schomp MINI happened to mention this. Did it have anything to do with their decision not to sell MINIs to out-of-state buyers? In other words, did they mention the rumor of possible dealers in Texas to help steer you out of their showroom and down the road to some other future dealers?
