It couldn't possibly be that our safety regulations and requirements are way more strict. Nope, can't be that at all. Plenty of vehicles are already manufactured elsewhere and shipped here. This isn't about tarrifs or even the dealership setup.

Maybe you and others don't know that BMW is not American? Same with Toyota and others. This isn't about international competition.
