Because it was a limited edition one-off that *never* would have sold well here.
Look, everyone wants a small RWD Coupe but nobody wants to pay for it. It's easier to just make a small convertable, offer a hardtop, and sell a million more than you would have with a coupe.
Why make a coupe when it takes just as much engineering to make a convertable, except you can sell 3 times as many to secretaries and sorority girls.
