I think the main reason we don't have those over here is because of the high demand for FWD cars and SUV's. Over there, there is no such thing as an "SUV".....the trend is over here. Over there just about everything they drive has a V8 and is rear wheel drive. Emissions standards are lower, so those vehicles never make their way over here because of that. They may also have lower safety crash standards as well.

That is an awesome car though, they still make the Fairmont as well and have an Ranchero type car (forget name), but there whole car line is awesome....although their truck selection sucks.
