Before addressing the American people, speak to the NHTSA that regulates safety in vehicles. The car shown doesn’t have side airbags.

Caption:

Americans bought Renault 5s in the past, can we dare dream they might buy Renault 5 EVs in the future?

Does the modern Renault 5 EV also lack airbags?

The hell are you on about. This car is ancient.

It’s an article reference photo of a small car. A small car that cannot be sold in US, if new. That’s what I’m on about.

Only way we’re getting a car that small is a 2-seater.
