Yes, a limited number were sold in the USA in the late 1960s. They were imported by Malcolm Bricklin, the same guy who created the Bricklin sports car in the 1970s.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_360 I remember seeing a couple of them back in the day but they weren't popular. A few years later a tiny Subaru van and a flatbed truck were sold here that used the same engine, my chemistry teacher in college had one of the flatbeds.
