The US market is a seperate entity from the rest of the world IMHO - a lot of overseas cars "work" in the US but very few US market cars ("world cars" excepted and maybe some SUVs) succeed elsewhere - the noted exceptions have to be the T itself and the original Jeep.

The latter was deliberately designed to be useful overseas - the usage of poor fuel and a track width which matched standard rail widths so it could run on tracks where available.
