Oh definitely, helps if every third car or so is like the one on the right. Would be nice if the government subsidised the right ones and not the ones on the left
Its a tin can basically. Theres a reason why you cant import new ones, you have to wait 25 years. Also terrible emissions for its size.
Another reason you can't import light trucks from over seas is because there's a 25% protectionist tariff on foreign light trucks. Combined with a practically non-existent market for them there's no incentive to try and sell them here.
If a Smart Fortwo can meet those standards there's no reason a kei truck couldn't be made to meet them as well.
The smart fortwo had 340 more ccs, and .1 meters wider.
Kei trucks are basically road legal gators.
