Let's say it did only cost $600 in china or whatever... What would it take to get it to the USA?

It would not meet emission requirements
It would not meet crash standards
It is effectively a 3 wheel motorcycle which means in most states you would need a motorcycle license.

If they were to import this and make it meet all of the USA standards you could add a one in front of the 6 and another zero at the end of that price tag. Then with all the weight you would have to add and the engine you replaced or converted your 258mpg FE gets cut to ribbons.
