It appears that some English dealers are getting mixed up between USA Australia and New Zealand, the compliance regime differs hugely, current 4/4 plus 4 roadster and the CX generation cars are all compliant in New Zealand at present.
There are a couple of four cylinder cars on there way and three plus 6 almost here, perhaps someone in sales at MMC is getting confused.....
This has cost one excellent dealer a couple of sales. Both the BMW and Supra are well known here so servicing is not such a worry.
