All of the car companies do this.  They can get temporary approval from the
DOT and EPA if you put a time limit on how long a car is going to be here in
this country.  VW has brought over cars like this for promotional reasons
that they use for a while and then crush because it is more expensive to take
them back to Europe than they are worth.  I heard that a notorious VW parts
place (who shall remain nameless, hint, hint) got a bunch of TDI motors this
way.  When VW got ready to crush these promotional Jettas, they somehow,
bought the motors.  Been trying to sell them ever since (they are pricey).


Thanks,
