I have noticed that the F20 gets a LOT of critical comments on the looks from Americans on most car forums. This can probably explain why USA is not getting this car. It simply does not fit the American taste. If BMW wanted to sell this car in USA, I guess they would have styled it more like a Ford F150! :-)

Here in Norway I get plenty of positive comments on the looks of the F20, maybe except for my rather special choice of wheels for it.
Secondly, there of 50 States in the United States + Canada when u say North America. Each State has moAr people in it than Norway. Thus, there are 50x moAr "Americans" discussing BMWs here, than people from ur very small country. Ur comment is moot.

Poor yanks!!! Upset their national, arrogant, "we are the most mighty nation in the world, therefore all car company's should kiss our feet" attitude!!
