You need to be writing to you favorite Congressman or Senator on this one. The laws they have passed and the power they have given to the 'We know what's good for you, don't confuse the issue with facts' regulatory agencies makes the cost of entry into the US market by competition from other parts of the world prohibitive. RE: Smart Car for an example. I'm sure that is why we never saw many of the very desirable variations on the Vanagon that VW produced for other markets but we never saw on the showroom floor here. To much red tape and hoops to jump through. |
