PS - the issue would be making a profit on selling an economy car for probably more than the US models would sell for. A European spec Aveo costs more Euro than the straight conversion between the USD/Euro and the US list price. Same for the Honda Fit/Jazz or Yaris.
Example - a Prius in the US costs ~$25K, in the UK it costs ~£26K which is ~$32k for the same spec model.
These figures are ~ because I can't recall the exact figures from the websites but it was something like this.
If I was a business though I wouldn't buy @ retail prices, it would be dealer. But if the $/Euro swings the wrong way then stock may soar or sink in value and profits killed.
Which is why GM failed to make money on the Astra / Vectra models imported from Europe to the US and why BMW makes cars in the US.
