Interested in a brand new, fully warranted, 5-door crossover SUV, built by a major name brand automaker, that gave you 50+ MPG with a gas, not diesel or hybrid engine, that has a top speed of 125 mph, is capable of getting to 60 in 12 seconds around the same as a Prius, that's stickered priced at less than $5,000?

It's not a primitive vehicle. It has air conditioning, flatscreen LED dashboard, an airbag, powerwindows and locks.

Well

FUCK YOU

you can't buy it! It doesn't have 6 airbags, doesn't meet roof crush standards; it's not that it's unsafe, it's not that overpollutes, it would probably exceed our standards of 20 years ago, but it doesn't meet our ultrastringent standards today.

THAT'S RIGHT FAGGOTS, YOU CAN LEGALLY JUMP OUT OF A FUCKING AIRPLANE BECAUSE YOU HAVE A PARACHUTE, BUT IF YOU WANT TO DRIVE A CAR WITHOUT SIX AIR BAGS YOU'RE SUICIDAL AND THE STATE MUST STEP INTO KEEP YOU SAFE! FUCK AFFORDABILITY, YOUR SAFETY IS TOO IMPORTANT TO LET YOU DRIVE THIS CAR!

Talk on this begins at 13:00 mins into the video, and it's called the Renault Kwid.

This applies to Americans, btw (the bullshit standards, European standards are more reasonable.)

>mfw I have gearhead friends who love customizing their cars and they have to deal with this bullshit all the time

I feel it's partially because politicians, who know nothing of cars, demand stringent safety standards in order to avoid blame for "inaction" on their part.

How welcome is regulation in the auto-industry? Do insiders like it as a way to keep newcomers out?

Considering how often the regulations fucked over domestic car industries I'm placing my bets on malice. If something can't be simply abolished or taxed to death they'll regulate it out of existance.

>mfw when people tell me this is a good way to solve "problems"

Most car guys bitch about the bullshit safety standards. I blame 3rd party presidential candidates that have a hard on for safety in cars and writing books on it. Fuck Nader.
