   I presume you are talking about fuel standards.
   
   With sufficient demand a new category of vehicle would be created or a vehicle tyke would get moved to a new category.
   
   Or someone would just build a hybrid or EV wagon to meet the standards.
   
   Lobbying is a thing. The industry has a big hand in writing the rules.
   
   Or just vote the bums out…sorry I can’t keep a straight face on that one. But the rest can happen.

     @black6_ @houseoftolstoy @Binkle @creamqueen @midway you can import them, but they have to be 25+ years old as I recall

     @midway @houseoftolstoy @Binkle @creamqueen these would sell like hotcakes at $15,000 new and it will never, ever happen under the current US government system
     
     there are entire classes of vehicle that simply cannot be made in America because they are outlawed by the extremely extensive regulations covering motor vehicles
     
     the same thing has happened in the firearms industry. rules get set, and then anything that exists outside those rules is totally abandoned. no amount of demand changes that

     So the loophole is modifying them to be off-road vehicles and getting them registered as ATVs. It's the same shit with that Roxor Jeep clone.
