Nah, this is some terrible whataboutism. Stick to the topic.

no it's not, it addresses the core of the idiotic argument.
"we should ban participating in traffic without the safety features of a new car." No we shouldn't for the same reason we don't ban bicycles, motorbikes, scooters,... which are at least as dangerous to drive as an old tiny car.
How about the giant trucks with huge blindspots known to roll over kids in driveways, where's the outrage there?
> But there's no good reason we need to allow people to import old, unsafe vehicles like this.
Sure there is, there's a gap in the market for small efficient light trucks/vans for around town and in urban environments, things that don't need to go on interstates. Light vehicles that don't mess up the roads like 6000lb+ vehicles. But we aren't allowed to have nice things like this due to the tariff situation, so the 25yr loophole is currently the only way.
