It might be easier to import them, but a number of factors, that so far prevented market success for American cars in Europe still holds. They are still to expensive, they are still consuming fuel as if it was free, and they still don't fit into European traffic because they are to big - for streets, for parking lots, for garages.

In the end, only a few rich and a handful of idiots will drive them in Europe. Just as it is now.

They throw in an LPG-tank in the back than gas isn't much of an issue anymore.
