FYI--I read somewhere earlier that the PHEV G-series cars were having a delayed USA introduction because of mods needed to the ICE part of the drivetrain to meet SULEV standards in California, that will allow them to get "carpool" stickers. It looks to me like CA is the major market for PHEV's in the US. In Houston, a dealer may have one or two PHEV's on the lot. When I look at the inventory at Steve Thomas BMW in SoCal, almost all of their non-V8 5-series inventory is the 530e. This is the dog wagging the tail for PHEV's in the US.
