Wow, surprised the Coupe even made it onto that US-centric list, and so high up too, well done Coupe
It's because the Coop has now reached eligibility for importing into the US. So naturally a lot of US motorists will be getting introduced to it now for the first time in decades.
But I don't think it will gain a big following in the US at all. It really is a big contrast to the cars that are normally popular there.
