Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see it here. But there are good reasons why it might not be.

While I think that car looks damn hot -- I gotta agree with you, Number 3. When it all boils down; I wouldn't buy one. I'd be more into a traditional sedan or coupe.
I'm not a fan of hatchbacks at all in terms of practicality. I like my crap to be hidden (from both passers-by and myself), I like the separation of cabin from cargo just in case (and I have) there's smelly stuff I need to carry. Overall I think a well-executed sedan or coupe looks better than a hatch, as well. (see CTS portfolio)
A friend of mine has a scion X...b? The hatchback (not so boxy) one. I have the Cobalt, and his wife has a Cobalt. We can fit FAR more stuff in our vehicles than he can. And he knows it. If it weren't for the fact that he doesn't want more car payments...he'd be selling it right now for a Malibu or something a little larger and 'normal'. We've talked about this on numerous occasions....
To be perfectly honest, once the excitement settled -- the thing that really makes me love that hatch-Cruze is the lighting changes on the front and rear of the vehicle. It just.....works. So well.
Put those all on the US-spec vehicle, and I wouldn't look twice at the hatchback...or any other competitor for that matter.
