Just got this in an email from MiniUSA, mixed in with a bunch of other news items.
COMING NEXT SUMMER: MINI TAKES THE STATES 2012

Here

So the first official announcement from MiniUSA came this week, confirming the dates, starting Wednesday July 4th on the East Coast and finishing Sunday July 15th on the West Coast, cities as yet un-announced.

Official tagline: GoForth, Go West, Go MINI.

MC2 Magazine posted some possible tidbits of info, with noting there will be eleven cities as major stop-overs and of those five are new to the MTTS.

Link to the MiniUSA announcement can be found here.

This is all early release/tentative info, so dates/stops could still change.

Looks like they were already asked to take down the information... so.. for your viewing pleasure here is the captured date: (note it could change)
