This is the first thing trimp has said that excited me. But in the little i have looked at getting my own KEI van here in New Mexico i knew it was going to take more than him thinking about it too legalize them.

Ms. Sadek said. “If you get into a collision with a 5,000-pound pickup truck, you’re going to lose.”

This is going to be the biggest hurdle. In my small town i doubt it will be an issue, but in a busy city i doubt this will ever happen with how large trucks and SUVs are becoming.

I’d be happy to see them as an option, but I don’t see them as an viable mainstream car here - many, many drivers are afraid to drive small cars in the land of mondo trucks. The Smart failed for a reason.
