I'm curious as to how Kei cars are prohibited and the SMART is not. Which design requirements are being missed? That is probably the most important aspect to tackle. As for them not available because they aren't suitable, you buy them because of a requirement, just as you should any other car. I'm not aware of any "minimum monthly dirt" standards that have been applied to SUV's.
Kei cars would do a great deal in reducing GMs Fleet average consumption so why in the world, would anyone here be against them being available?
As Ming already said, Suzuki is JDMs biggest kei car producer and would be a great ally in helping GM meet its CAFE target. Could you imagine that? GM taking the first step and being ahead of its competitors? Preposterous!
