Yeah, I would imagine that it would need to be certified for sale in those countries, so a similar problem to a new platform meeting crash regs.

Seeing those sales numbers made me realize how hard it is to sell 25000 units of a niche vehicle. I say this because they need to sell that many GR Yarises. And I hope they bring it stateside, but considering that it's a unique platform (crash regs) and engine (getting it 50 state certified) it's a big ask to bring it here.

But still, need to sell 25k of them, bring it here, stick the motor in the Corolla and camry while they're at it, they could definitely make sense of it.
