And yeah, the warranty probably wouldn't apply outside its original market.
Still, for a daily driver as an efficiency choice it doesn't look like a good move.

The engine and transmission are not produced or sold here in the USA. I would assume that possibly this would affect other parts of the car, like the entire drive train, exaust ect. I would be surprised if most of these were available without importing them.
