    This is in stark contrast to the GM Tahoe's and Suburban's that are flooding Vancouver for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Wow talk about how to showcase how fuel inefficient GM is!

    the real deal

    will be when the 4000 cars are not needed after the olympics are over and they go to the CPO program or other outlets.

    Certified Pre-Owned...

    these are lease return vehicles and the like sold by BMW with nice warranties and relativly high prices, for used vehicles. But with this big flood of cars after the event, there will surely be some deals to be had.

    But in Europe, you really think those cars will be coming to the states? or Canada.

    This remended me of something. Our rural USPS mail delivery person saw my Mini and asked if they could be ordered in right hand drive for shipment to the US. I said I didn't know, so can they?

    As i understand it when the Postal Service requests vehicles they are often RHD. I know Jeep made the Cherokee available for some time. The best thing to do would be to contact MINI USA and discuss the carriers needs. Who knows, they may bring one over.
