They would never pass emissions or safety. I kind of like that G15 design though.

RE. some of the older X10 types, there were some "kit" cars imported in the early 70s that had the body style similar to them. There is a special yahoo group for them but I cant remember the name. They had to be imported as kits because of regulations that were already in effect at that time. That loop hole in the law has long since been slammed shut.
