rules for safety and emission requirements.
Go back a few years, European cars were modified to satisfy US requirements, e.g. 5MPH bumper back in the old days. Remember California used to have a higher standard for emission than the rest of the states ?
Car manufacturers build cars to meet the minimum import requirements. Volvo (or Saab) cars of yesteryear had to modify the bumper to satisfy the US 5 MPH requirement, DOT headlight requirements etc. Were Volvo cars unsafe then in Europe ?
