I agree that is not the exact link but it is part of the ban on mini trucks that went into place in 2008. I give up on the topic at hand, off road means just that. I don't wan't something to mow themy yard with. I want a car. A simple inexpensive car that doesn't necessarily have any safety features that I can use like a car. You know a car that you drive to work or to the store. A simple car that is already being produced in mass in other countries that is banned by federal law from being on US highways. The only possible way is to change to laws and because of corporate cronyism on both sides, and so any people who feel the need to control what other people are doing this along with pretty much every new government regulation enacted never, ever goes away.
Go read up on the nightmares minitruck owners have with the laws, here is the final post on the subject at the biggest minitruck forum. It came down to everybody's workaround comes down to breaking federal law.

Here is a link to the current EPA faq on mini trucks. I can only find it as a PDF. Basically it says you can import old trucks if limited to 25 mph and allowed for off road use, but anything newer then a 2004 is not allowed period.
