Buying new car in Canada, then taking it to USA

Hello everyone... I am new here.
My question is about buying a car in Canada that is not available in the USA and then having it shipped to California... can it be done. Mini Cooper has a new 4 wheel drive SUV that will be offered in the states with a gas engine although a diesel engine is available in other countries. I would like a the diesel option because it gets 64 mpg. Can I buy it in Canada and then import it to California??? Thats it other than I love you Canada!

Ignoring the obvious spam above, the problem you may face is that many Cdn car companies are refusing to sell to US residents (in order to protect US nothern border dealers). But if youcan get over that hurdle, you can import the car just like any other, with the carmakers complinace letter.
