It's not beside the point: it is the WHOLE point. US regulations are preventing the import of cars that are more fuel efficient and no less safe in real world experience, therefore the @#$! US regulations should be changed. Simple: even the US Congress and the moron-in-chief ought to be able to do it in a week at the outside. And if it means firing a bunch of obstructionist bureaucrats, or even abolishing their agencies, then that's an unintended fringe benefit.
