Koenigsegg coming to America

Koenigsegg is a Swedish super-car company founded by brilliant engineer Christian von Koenigsegg. They are most famous for the production of the Agera R, one of the greatest technical marvels of the automotive industry in the past decade.
Up until now, they could not be purchased in the US, but according to Road and Track, they will be finally brought to the states and sold from "Manhattan Motor Cars" dealerships.

The United States is the worlds biggest super-car market, so why are we just getting this vehicle now?
Well, the car costs 1.5 millions dollars. Koenigsegg has stated in the past that they believe that Americans
"just can't afford this car." Almost insulting isn't it?

After the 2008 financial crisis and the introduction of stricter regulations in the United States, they shifted their focus to European and Asian markets.

It's weird hearing that the U.S. is "too poor" for a product. We're #1!
Right?
