Finally someone touches on some truth. This is the same reason when you see one of those little foreign cars or trucks that get 50 plus MPG ...I remember a company from India don't remember the name, they had a line of vehicles whose prices were going to be no more than around 5K bucks. By the time they would do everything to make them legal for the American market, the EPA nonsense made them about the same price as any of the current entry level vehicles. Kinda defeated the purpose.
