Very good video worth watching that outlines and explains why we don't have small trucks available in the US market anymore.
Highlights how the evil antics of the EPA :grim: are forced on American citizens while the rest of world are provided with small fuel efficient trucks by vehicle manufacturers. :banghead:

The greenies are like that.
We have less problems in Australia.
The Australian market is flooded with Chinese junk, 2ltr Biturbos & EV's.
Soccer mum cars that will die at about 200,000 miles.
2-year wait for anything decent.
The government want everything running on coal (EV's charged from coal fired electricity).

This is a very enlightening video.

This video shows yet another example of a government agency that is intending to "do good", but the results of their regulations have many unintended consequences are ultimately counter-productive. The EPA may even know the shortcomings of their regulations and their methodology, but it is highly unlikely that they will ever change because these regulations and the way they enforce them make the EPA look good at the expense of everyone else. All someone has to do to confirm this is to look closely at the VW TDI scandal and how VW was made out to be the villain while the EPA was made to look like a knight in shining armour.

The Jeep Liberty CRD is a poster child for this scenario.
