Are politics why the electric "Smart Car" has been removed from U.S. market?

Question

The had just begun in Calif. a couple of years ago and then every trace of them vanished! Did GM and Exxon plus the politicians do this? I want one today and have the money. Demand is high and supply is zero in U.S.

Answer 1

The "Smart Car" is gasoline powered.....and on U.S. roads a death trap unless the drivers are willing to dramatically alter their driving habits...

...considering I am passed every day by SUVs with Obama bumperstickers doing 80 on the freeway....I think the desire to complain and make unrealistic demands far outweighs the willingness for individuals to do their part....

Answer 2

because in this country politicians are pay off from the lobbies

welcome to your freedom and democracy
