The ‘kei’ cars and trucks are growing in popularity in the U.S. But many states have explicitly banned them in recent years. A bill at the statehouse would allow them on Colorado roads.
I don’t know what physical reality you live in that the snub nose and lifted style vehicles on the roads today, not just limited to trucks, is going to “deflect” a pedestrian anywhere but directly into the pavement.
“built to sell in both markets” my ass!! American brands are virtually non-existent over there and better yet have completely discontinued any remotely normal sized vehicle that would “sell in both markets”!! If they were “built to sell in both markets” Trump wouldn’t be flirting with trade war just to somehow force our shitty inflated cars to sell in Europe. Beyond EU regulations, Europeans are harder to sell to at american prices because far more of them have the option not to own a car. Americans do not have that option!
Jesus christ you’re fucking delusional. Hey dumbass!! Capitalists don’t give a fuck about what you or any market or regulation wants, they care about making money!! If by some ‘supply and demand’ miracle that ends up being what you wanted in the first place, then it’s a happy accident. But most of the time, at a certain level of market saturation; they will just use their vast amounts of wealth to convince you, by hook or by crook, that “what you want” is actually “what will make us the most money”. They are not the same thing, learn the fucking difference!!!
And most cars are built to sell in both markets, crazy right?

Cars from non US manufacturers still exist in the US and they’re built to fit both markets. Holy hell I’m tired of having to spell things out.
Look at a Toyota Prius and tell me it’s a lifted monstrosity with a hood that sends pedestrians under it.
Lmfao. We’re not talking about foreign manufacturers in the US, we’re talking about US manufacturers in foreign markets.
We’re talking about pedestrian safety regulations.
