I'm with davehkg that I'd rather have all the trims available in the US than the ones in Asia. I'm in Malaysia and all we get is the 1.6L & 2.0L versions. All with automatic gearboxes (though the 2.0L version has the paddles). I would much prefer a 6-spd MT.
The MPS is also not part of the product line-up being offered here. You'd have to import it yourself direct from Japan, which would cost you an arm and a leg out here. The import tax here is 200% and then there's the permit to import your own vehicle which runs a little bit over 10K USD. So after all is said and done, if I were to bring a MPS, I could probably afford an BMW M3 in the US.
