Importing Mini Diesel to USA

Hi,

I'm a VW TDI driver and am interested in the Mini Diesel as my next car. Unfortunately, I live in the USA. It seems Mini has mo intentions of importing the diesel. I asked them why, but they say they just aren't importing them. Not a good explanation. It's a shame, since the milage at 58.9mpg is way better than the hybrids.

Does anyone know if it's possible to import one directly from Europe? I plan on going to England in August.

Thanks in advance,

Chris Burkhardt

They are supposed to in 09
