“Is the outside covered in pillows”?

If we are successful in this negotiation our British bound vehicles will be outfitted on the frontend with collision MyPillow.com!!!
In order to meet their safety standards for pedestrians. Post-collision, they’ll get the best night’s sleep in the whole wide world.

No, actually things like requiring a rubber cover over the leading edge of wings and spoilers, outlawing the “Ears” of Knock-Off wheel nuts, no pop-up headlamps, flush lights, soft face bumpers, specified bumper heights, etc.
Why all the new cars look like crap, and so much alike.
Just like in the U.S.A.!
I frankly cannot think of any American made cars that I would expect to sell well in the U.K.

U.S. companies have had U.K. divisions or partial U.K. company ownership on and off for decades.
Ford and Chrysler in particular.
Long subject to cover, many decades of it.
Overcapacity, Unions, and Gov. Org. meddling are destroying the auto industry world-wide.
Importing “U.S.” made (Partially U.S.made, %$#! globalization!) to the U.K will not really help anyone so should not become an issue.
