This has been brought up hundreds of times before.
Ford doesn't want anything competing with the F150 and now the SVT Raptor!

most times a car company decides not to sell something in America it comes down to one of two or a combination of both reasons:
1. Some US regulation that has to do with emissions or crash safety would increase the cost of development and production to the point that the money made by selling it here would be outweighed or minimized by the money spent in meeting regulations.
2. The manufacturers opinion of America is that we are a bunch of fat rednecks that will only buy gigantic cars and trucks, and they decide that the car would not succeed in the North American market.

The truck probably wouldn't pass U.S. safety and emissions standards which means forking out more money to get it up to U.S. code. Not to mention customs and the costs of that.

I like the Courier - reminds me of my 82 Scamp. This isn't mine, but for those who don't remember the "Plymouth Mini-Ranchero" http://www.turbinecar.com/scamp.htm
But damn! $135,000???? Too rich for my blood!
