It's funny, Europe does not have all the saftey and emission requirements that we have and you can buy just about any class of car you want. Gas is what about $9.00 gallon, and you can buy a tiny scooter, or 50 hp POS car, or a top of the line mercedes. Point is that regulations limit you to seat belts, air bags and smog controls, all of which add cost, and weight to a car.

Maybe we just have to many regulations.
