Toyota "Wish" and Honda "Stream", any GOOD reason why these 2 cars aren't sold in the US of A?

    While doing a 6 passenger car search I've discovered that both Toyota and Honda both have crossover vehicles. The "Wish" and the "Stream." Those would be perfect for what I need, but guess what, they aren't selling them in the USA. Why not? There's no market? It's a money loser? Mazda's doing it. Don't tell me Mazda can afford the cash flow hit. Don't tell me Mazda has a better long term market strategy.

    So it looks like we'll be settling for a mazda5 for our 6 passenger carrier. I'm sure it's going to be fine and reliable. The owners appear as fanatical about that car on the mazda 5 board as we are on this prius board.
    Personally though, I'm a honda and toyota faithful, and if I could stick with their brand I certainly would. Bummer.

    Toyota Wish; looks like a good platform for a "streatched" Prius.

    Seven spoke wheels; Touring model? Badge on hood is a "W," not the Circle T.
    Cool.

    Honda "Wish;" strange that they have the same name...
    Oops! typo there in your post. 2nd You Tube should read Honda Swim.

    Anyway, FYI, the Swim clip has been disabled. Fooey!
