>But they look weak and girly.

If you've read the article, you'd see its because these vehicles don't conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

Nor EPA emissions regulations.

Plus, looking girly is totally different than looking small.

They look like utility vehicles to me, but then again I had a miata and a grom...

A motor vehicle that is at least 25 years old can be lawfully imported into the U.S. without regard to whether it complies with all applicable FMVSS. Such a vehicle would be entered under Box 1 on the HS-7 Declaration form to be given to Customs at the time of importation. If you wish to see that form, you may download a copy from our website at nhtsa.gov/importing-vehicle. You should note that the 25 year period runs from the date of the vehicle's manufacture. If the date of manufacture is not identified on a label permanently affixed to the vehicle by its original manufacturer, to establish the age of the vehicle, you should have documentation available such as an invoice showing the date the vehicle was first sold or a registration document showing that the vehicle was registered at least 25 years ago. Absent such information, a statement from a recognized vehicle historical society identifying the age of the vehicle could be used.

Untrue. Any vehicle that is more than 25 years is exempted from the FMVSS.

Yes, so that's why these can only be bought used.
