Gts-r
Just read the article in AUTOMOBILE, and WOW
 what a car. 402 hp and 376lb-ft from a 5.7L Chevy V8, a 6-speed, rear-wheel drive, 0-60 in 5.1 seconds (traction limited, it only has 235/40 18 tires, some 275's or higher would really help). A quarter of 13.3 seconds! Top speed- 166mph. For HALF the price of an M5. Truly a great car. Oh, its basically a Catera, so while we have the Caddie that zigs, the Aussies have the Caddie that KICKS ASS!! C'mon, lets have it here! It also hase 13.5 inch, 4-pot binders up front, a hot suspension, and a sweet body kit. 60-0 is in 125 ft. They have no fade whatsoever. Oversteer can be dialed in as much or as little as you want, making for a wonderful car. It is a huge sports-sedan value. Makes me wish I lived in the land of the Koalas.

Because they are stupid bling monkeys on crack.
It is even more confusing, they make the aztek and leave this precious gem out of the mix. Other than that, there is NO reason whatsoever, all the parts are shared with stuff over here, so getting it would be straightforward. It would really help their image if they brought it over.

It's so lame how car companies don't bring the nice cars here. We want performance!!!! So many wonderful cars out there, and we get barely anything....luckily we get Ferrari's.

I believe that U.S. automakers are attempting to distance themselves from their reputation of being capable of creating mass produced muscle-cars. They want the public to believe that they are capable of creating internationally accepted 'world-cars' that are compliant with performance as well as practicality. A select few of us (primarily you and me) believe that this is a window for domestic automakers to abandon their roots in favor of acceptable autos that surrender high-end performance for everyday usage. Sure it may sell more, but in the end, what will be remembered?

Nothing will be remembered. And guys who like cars will prosper, like VW is doing, especially in Europe.
