The MINI is designed by BMW. Quite a number of them are built in Germany or Austria. The upcoming sub-1 series shares a platform with the upcoming Cooper. They drive much like a BMW, except they're FWD. Of course, they're owned by BMW.

Nope. Remember that all Americans hate diesels. (No matter how we actually feel, of course.) BMW just started bringing over diesels recently, and they only offer one or two here. No idea how they're selling, but I hope it's well enough to convince them to bring over more.
Heck, maybe they'll even decide to import the MINI D!
