l You get taken serious by your fellow carbrained americans because ““trucks”” are normalized and small handy cars are ridiculed.
So unless you are a fragile piece of human, choose the right one.
Oh definitely, helps if every third car or so is like the one on the right. Would be nice if the government subsidised the right ones and not the ones on the left

Another reason you can’t import light trucks from over seas is because there’s a 25% protectionist tariff on foreign light trucks. Combined with a practically non-existent market for them there’s no incentive to try and sell them here.
If a Smart Fortwo can meet those standards there’s no reason a kei truck couldn’t be made to meet them as well.
