Isn't red tape to sell cars in Europe and the USA infamously difficult?

Isn't red tape to sell cars in Europe and the USA infamously difficult?
- infecto 3y agoI was always under the impression it was less about red tape and more about safety standards. Most foreign cars do not meet the safety standards required in the US/EU. My favorite example is in Mexico, Toyota had a model that was more or less the same style of an early 90s Toyota. You could still buy them new in ~2016, they had no upgrades to safety etc, you would never be able to sell them in the US.
- TheLoafOfBread 3y agoI remember vaguely on one Chinese car in Eastern Europe cca 1 year ago, which was cheapish, but made from cheap plastics, squeaking, infotainment was booting 30 seconds and ICE engine, despite its relatively small volume was taking 10 liters per 100km. I don't think that they have sold many of them.
