    Yet again, there are Minis and Fiats sold legally in the U.S.

    Do you think the Fiat 500 is a big car or something? There are smaller cars, but it’s not exactly an SUV.

    And then there is the Smart FourTwo. I don’t believe they are selling new models in the U.S. anymore, but they were not very long ago- 2019. I seriously doubt safety standards have changed so much since 2019 that they can’t sell newer models. Daimler doesn’t sell them.

        I didn’t say they were safe. I have no idea how safe they are. You claimed they can’t sell small cars in the U.S. because of safety standards. I have literally told you about three small cars which are (or were recently in the case of the Smart FourTwo) being sold in the U.S.

        I’m not sure why you won’t acknowledge that fact, but it’s still a fact.

        If I had the money, I could go out right now and buy a brand new 2024 Fiat 500 legally from a legal Fiat dealer right here in Indiana.
