With the exception of mentally insane Leftists, Americans do not walk on or, into Highways, Freeways, etc...so there is no need for those added costs to consumers making vehicles far more expensive.
If you’re a nutjob and think that you have the right to gather onto a freeway/Highway without consequence and the world revolves around your insanity then you mus live(die) by your insanity.
If you think otherwise you are INSANE and e normals do not need to engage with you. Why? Because you are INSANE.

That is irrelevant -- Ford makes top selling cars in the UK that do very well in the UK and they are designed as per British standards. as I said in post #1, this is a weak excuse to protect their market

My son hit a deer while driving at 70 mph a couple nights ago. The car he was driving did an excellent job protecting the pedestrians, I mean passengers.

My son was driving a friend’s newer Explorer. I haven’t seen pictures but the damage sounds impressive.

Safety should be for the occupants not people or animals outside the vehicle where they don’t belong.
