MINI-D Coming To Australia

Sometime in the middle of this year MINI will begin to sell the MINI-D in Australia, according to The Auto Channel. It will be the cleanest emission car in all of Australia. The MINI-D has MINIMALISM (MINI's version of BMW's EfficientDynamics) which includes "Auto Stop Start" that switches the engine off in traffic jams and at red lights to save fuel; Brake Energy Regeneration; and a Shift Point Display.

We just want to know whether it will ever be introduced in the US!
