If there were parts availability for these cars and they were available to purchase left hand drive ready to run, I personally think I would spring the cash for one in the U.S. My hometown is very packed and anything small like this would be a dream to have.
So I guess my question is, would you personally considering buying something like a Kia Morning diesel, or any other left hand drive Kei car if parts were available and they were 100% emissions legal?
Just seeing if there's any potential interest before I start doing more research on bring some Kei cars over....
Thanks,

Did anything ever come of this? How did/would you handle the NHTSA restrictions?
I would be really interested in the Suzuki Every, or the Daihatsu Hijet variants.
