Sorry but this sounds like a load of bullshit.......
Lotus bribed their way out of that requirment for now
I'm pretty sure they wangle there way around it.

Noble for instance export there cars in parts nad build them in the states as kit cars before selling them - but this can only be done for very small production numbers....

If its good enough for europe and ncap, why not for the US? Their loss i guess
n cap is worried about pedestirans more then occupants... also, the bumper laws of the past helped the consumer more then anything else...



Bah
air bags dont save lives, ciggerettes do
