Yeah, Americans like big and powerful. I think Hyundai got the formula right for the American market (that's why it's in muscle car shootouts). It's a cheaper G coupe. The FR-S will be in a slightly different segment (currently the only one) and I worry for its success. Small, lower output cars tend to prosper overseas but don't get the attention they deserve in the US.
