Default Spotted a SsangYong Rodius...in the States?

Are they selling these cars in the States?
Just spotted one in downtown Indianapolis last night. I couldn't take a pic since I was driving but I had to look twice. It didn't have a front plate so I'm guessing it's not from Canada.

PS: Yes it was ugly.

As Top Gear put it "The Rodius looks like a man that got bottled in a pub crawl and stitched back together by a blind man".

Bit harsh on blind cosmetic surgeons I thought.

We had SsangYong being sold by an independent dealer down here, but only one model (can't remember which one, but it wasn't the Rodius). They can be found in Central America.
