BMW to Lease Electric MINIs In Cali

Yup, it’s true. The only bad part? Not many folks will get the opportunity. BMW is only planning to make 500 cars, and since the company is going to keep ten as showpieces, only 490 will be available to "the public." Something tells me that celebrities and big shots will snap them all up, but maybe some regular folks will luck out. Think they’ll be some EV1-styled backlash when Bimmer pulls them back?  Automotive News Europe via Wired
