    Safety.

    See that minivan, where the driver is over the front wheels? That means the crumple zone is you. The US stopped making that design in the early 70’s because of the lack of crumple zones.

    So thank all the people who complain when the smallest injury happens in an accident, and blame the vehicle. This makes safety requirements stronger (which has largely been a good thing), but makes Kei trucks unsellable in the US.
