US, because of "I'm gonna sue the fuck out of you" and what not. Isn't the hilariously abnormal bumper only required in some states though?

Actually nowadays US and European safety laws are both equally ridiculous with the rearview cameras and the ridiculously thick pillar which erase any chance you seeing cyclists or streetlights. At least you have 12 airbags deploying and a cage that is able to withstand 3 planets crushing down it on when you drive of that canyon. Oh wait, your country is literally just flat? Well fuck you, have this extra weight.

Clearly there are no standards if cars like this one can be sold new from the factory. Americans are anal about production cars, Europeans are anal about modifications.

That looks kind of cool.

And the weird thing is most of them were not required to have that stupid wing on the front. It was like one portmaster where they were brought in refused to clear them for customs due to height of the front while the rest didn't give a shit and let them through just fine.

The most retarded part are the lego bumpers they put on the US-spec cars.

Pretty cool guy who also told me what I already assumed about working as an engineer in the auto industry in Metro Detroit.

You should have told him.
Would have spared him the humiliation
