One would think that living in America would have its advantages. Don't get us wrong; we love the merits of the good 'ol U-S-of-A, but sometimes, this country doesn't always get what it wants.

Take the recent news about the Scion FR-S Convertible as an example. The new Japanese sports coupe is available in the US as a coupe model, but according to AutoNews, that's as far as it gets.

Due to "pricing issues," Toyota has announced that the convertible model of the FR-S will not be made available in the US. You read that right: not available in the US.

We don't know about you, but this news is pretty devastating, especially for those who have been waiting for a topless version of the FR-S. As if to rub salt on our wounds, Toyota has given the green light to bring a convertible model of the Toyota GT86->ke4085 in a number of other markets all over the world.

As for the third sister in this trifecta, the Subaru BRZ Convertible, there's been no confirmation on whether one will come in the future.

But no Scion FR-S Convertible in the US? Bummer. Bummer, indeed.
