In Germany and many other European countries, when the government resigns (or the government is mistrusted by parliament), there is the possibility of immediate new elections.

Is this totally impossible in the US?

In the US "The Government" is not a thing that resigns - it'd be the President. If the President resigned, the VP would become acting President until the next election. If the VP also resigned, we'd work our way down the line of succession.

The system we have here is quite different from the parliamentary system you may be more familiar with.

Totally impossible (unless Congress or the States amend the Constitution to make it possible).
