Importing a New Europa

Ok it's a hypothetical question that I'd been curious of for a while and the other thread on the Europa reminded me of it.

So the new Europa is a quirky car, kinda too sporty to be a GT (ie z4/tt/cayman rival) and too 'refined' to be an true sports car like the elise. I know it was pointless for Lotus to federalize it as it wouldn't have sold in any quantity, however what if someone wanted one? How hard would it be to federalize one without using the show car loophole. The emissions should be easy as the engine is a turbo GM unit (that I'm sure is available in some form here) but what has me really thinking is the bumpers/crash testing now that it has become the Dodge EV (if it goes into production) would the bumper issue be covered by that
