I think it's very possible. The big problem will be the volume. Unless it sells in big numbers, the ROI after the cost of Federalization, distribution and marketing will probably be too marginal to please any investors.

Simply: Would American buyers put up with a Mirage with steelies, no stereo, no air and wind-up windows? Probably not.

Also, yeah, that power bulge is bugging me something fierce. Wonder if that means the rumored turbo variant is on its way?
