Blame the US (and Canada..) for going down their own road(s) with FMVSS instead of signing onto the world standard for cars. Because of this, Manufacturers have to get their vehicles certified again (crash, lighting, emissions, etc standards) and relatively speaking NA is a small market.
If the US/CAN were to sign up, then they could approve type certified cars for sale, and we could see these (and other 'world' cars that we don't get that every wants ... like diesel rangers & hiluxes, landcruisers, etc)
See what the one guy did to get a NG 9-5 wagon on the road ... Could you imagine doing that in North America under FMVSS? If we were on the world standard, you could get a type certified car on the road here...
