It takes time for a new vehicle to be tested and certified for the US market. the most recent Pontiac GTO didn't have hood scoops in its first year of production because they hadn't been approved by the appropriate crash-testing body.

additionally, this gives Europe the ability to test out any bugs that may be in the system, before it shows up on our shores. which is a good thing.
