When I first read about it in the brochure I was planning on getting it, as it seemed like an excellent idea. I was really disappointed when I read the fine print that it was not available on North American equipped cars. I read somewhere on the web that MINI thought that North Americans wouldn't want this option. Maybe they're right, maybe people like me who would want this are in the minority over here...but I can't think why, cutting down on tailpipe emissions just seems like the right idea...though I really don't understand it when I see people at malls etc just sitting there waiting for someone/thing with their engines running and windows open. Don't they know they're just burning gas needlessly
