You're blaming the wrong people (mostly, anyway). It's perfectly possible to get decent cars approved under US regulations. Lotus does it, as does Porsche. Mazda has the Miata, BMW & Merecdes their 2-seaters, and so on. No, the people most at fault are the US auto industry and their advertising/propaganda firms, who spend large amounts of money brainwashing most Americans into believing that they actually want those oversized, overstuffed, handle-like-a-waterbed "safe" cars.
