No doubt, the driver-oriented European version would have made purists a lot happier than the "soft" american version. Butttttttttttttttt no ways, the EU version would have sold as many units as the american version is enjoying right now.
Indians love flash. Honda conducted clinics with both the versions, and the american won hands down between the Indian sampling. The EU version does not look as flashy, big and luxurious (though I prefer the EU). Just look how the Sonata sold initially, on looks alone.
In addition, Honda badged the American version with oodles of chrome all around (only in India) and have smartly decided to sell only one luxury level across their engines/transmissions range.
