    So there is a loophole that make it possible to import such car and the trade deal threatens to not close it. That’s a little less sensational than what the tittle says.

    We have a lot of little cuck right wing “leaders” right now an they’ve been itching for a boot to lick for almost a century.

    The current Swedish “Moderate party” sided with the Nazis during WW2 and had to change their name after. Now they are best buds with Swedens Nazi Party and will let them into the government next election (they’re practically in already since they dictate policy in exchange for political support).

    well that’s disappointing

    remember, people, if the government won’t protect you, you’ll have to do it yourself. don’t just accept unsafe vehicles right next to you.

    Hmm does that mean I can get a car that doesn’t have a stupid unstoppable seatbelt alarm that constantly goes off when I’ve got a bag on the passenger seat? And without all the other irritating driver “aids” that have to be switched off every time the ignition is switched on?

    I’m starting to think my next car will be a Yank tank.

      You will, of course, pay a monthly subscription for your transmission to each wheel as well as for the breaks and if you say anything mean about the US online you will be in breach of TOS and the car will brick itself.

    You think those recent Windows failures were a mistake or they did it on purpose to show power ?

      Don’t know where you live, but Im seeing more and more of them. Quite a few at the Croatian coast where I am right now. All kinds of EU licence plates.

      So many in fact, I was chilling and thinking how hard it would be to start an eu initiative to ban cars with such a bad field of view.

      Now I find out more are coming?!

          The bigger models might also be too heavy to be driven with a regular (car) driver’s license. With a B Class the max weight is 3500 kg.

          You are right, they won’t be such a massive hit as in the US, but seeing a few of them use multiple parking spaces also won’t be a calming sight.

            On the other hand, take a cue from a few US cities where parking spaces are kept too small for these monstrosities. Fines for double parking could become a nice revenue stream

        Quite a few in Austria, too. Mostly Rams. I remember one with license plate along the line of “Love USA”, then one with a sticker “HATERS HOTLINE 0800-321-EAT-SHIT”. A great tell that only assholes with insecurities drive these.

        you might not be able to ban them, but you can make the owners regret using them in public
