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.
The Mustang sells very well in the UK as is.
“Overcapacity” is always such a tip-off to bogus markets anyway.
If there is overcapacity the free market ought to shake that out. If some investors and players erred by building more market capacity than their products have market appeal, so be it.
Purchasers likely gain from that until competition in the market leads to those with too much capacity to demand needing to reduce their capacity in order to survive.
