Hardly anyone buys American vehicles over here - and the Chevrolets they sell here, aren't really American anymore - but the Koreans and Japanese have gone along with stop/start on their newer models.
It results in about 8% less fuel burn on the NEDC, and ever more countries are introducing a NEDC based taxing system, so not having a start/stop system can start costing customers as it make a vehicle less attractive.
