I dont deny that, although TBF Toyota and Honda have historically done pretty well in the USA. However, at some point emissions are going to start being a problem though, and as things stand you guys are a long way behind EU/Far East when that happens.

If Im wrong I apologise but I believe that USA vehicles dont need to undergo crash testing before being sold, theres no legislation in respect of safety in collision with pedestrians, no requirement for automated braking, reversing assistance, drowsiness warnings, data recorders, speed limiters etc
Weve had all of this for years while you guys still dont test bumpers for safety, definitely something a European mind struggles to comprehend.

Yes mate. Heres another "perspective" for you though. Ignore the mm/dd thing, it gets the point across though.
