If buyers in an area that allows them don't want them, what makes you think buyers here do? We have seen two examples so far, India and the Philippines. They're allowed to be sold, but they aren't selling.
You might want one, sure. You and fifty of your friends might. No problem! But in order to pay for the cost of importing them (heck, even just getting them here!!) a company would have to sell something like fifty thousand of them, every year. And that size market, as far as we can tell, is simply not here.
The cheapest new cars here aren't doing that well, and that says that the market for inexpensive cars isn't very strong. Plus you can see that the super-cheap cars don't do well even when they are allowed to be sold... The auto makers see that, and they do not see a market for ultra-cheap cars.
