I’ve wanted one of these for decades but the options are pay out the ass for import fees or buy a 30 year old model, neither fee great. Hate that my government is apparently dead set on all of us driving massive trucks and SUVs over realist vehicles
It's almost as if car manufacturers and big oil write the laws to increase their own profit margins...
If these don't meet road safety requirements then it won't get better
The giant American trucks don't meet American road standards....
Yeah, but they've got better lobbyists.
The road standards are designed to protect the occupants, not the other users on the road.
This is a critical flaw with current safety and CAFE standards.
What standards do they not meet?
Hate that my government is apparently dead set on all of us ~~driving massive trucks and SUVs~~ spending thousands to money lenders, auto manufacturers, and dealerships over realist vehicles.
