US and European regs differ not just in emissions - which is why we see so few diesels here - but also in things that can be integral to the basic design, such as pillar strength, crumple zones, bumper strength and height, number and placement of lights. Sometimes it's easy to convert a car not originally designed for North America, but not always. That's one reason we no longer see cars like the Sirocco here.
Most manufacturers design their cars to conform to both standards these days, unlike back in the 1960s and 1970s when European cars had ugly afterthought bumpers for the USA, but the Accord sold in Europe is not the same car as the North American Accord.
The newest Passat is not the same car on both sides of the Atlantic, nor were Ford's Escort, Taurus and Focus models until the 2012 MY Focus.
