Great answer. Excited to hear about the crumple zones. I'm going to watch some crash tests. Thanks for the Smart Fortwo comparison, a good reminder about that vehicle. I accept it as safe enough to sell and have probably changed my perspective for next time I see a modern kei.
You seem to be better at comparisons than me:
One note on selling new vehicles without safety features: that is an example of what might be made without regulation and what would definitely be purchased on both the new and later the used market by those who can't afford more.
On the beef inspection point, I wanted a random example to drive home that poverty stinks and in every single product category the absolute cheapest SKU has plenty of buyers. You well likely are able to offer a better example I could have thrown out?
