Unless they build that thing with a slide out, their idea of entering the US market is a joke. Yes, I know there are some who have no desire for a slide out, but both of you is not considered a market.
You would be surprised, there is quite a significant number of people in US who are looking for smaller, lighter, and more economical RVs. We live right now in the Joshua Tree area, in CA, and there are a lot of RVs coming to this area right now, over 50% of them are small RVs with young 20-40 year old couples without kids, traveling in small 20-24 foot RVs. The demographics for the RV market are shifting, and I think there is a real market for small and light RVs designed for couples.
Slideouts are nice, but the problem with slide outs is that RVs built with slideouts are not really designed at all to function well if the sides are not slid out. And, in my case, for instance, that just would not work. Slide outs work if you are parked in an RV park, but not so much, if you are parked in a parking lot, street, national park, or basically any other place. Ideal would be, of course, an RV with slideouts for the main area, but designed to work really well with the sides in or out.
