Now if only it were launching at that price in the US.

Buy it in China, ship to America for fees and modifications totaling the original purchase price, still save $15k.

Feel the free hand of the market.

Unless it doesnt meet DOT requirements, it will be illegal to register.

Yeah that's the modification part. There are businesses that specialize in making certain imports street legal but it's usually for luxury vehicles.

I suppose someone might try to make an industry out of it if the idea becomes more than a shitpost.
