This is the <free market at work.
If people want overpay for an imported vehicle that doesn't live up to NHTSA standards they should slap a bright orange sticker on there warning people of the danger, brand the title with an indication that the vehicle hasn't met NHTSA standards, and let them carry on with their business. Inspect it as you would a kit car or a sand rail.
Also, whoever wrote this shit should be bitch slapped:
Quote : | "Rugged Defenders have a global appeal in this SUV-crazy world; imagine a cross between the previous generation Jeep Cherokee and the old International Harvester Scout, and then consider how many people you know would pay good money for an any-terrain, bare-bones truck with some British class." |
