Weirdly, anyone wished to import the 2005 Sensible Metropolis Coupe (in any other case generally known as the ForTwo), and one other software was made for the 2000 Fiat 126P, an old-looking miniature hatchback from the day it was launched. The 2008 Nissan Primera is one other oddball alternative, as is the behemoth that’s the 2002 Renault Avantime.
One other eclectic automobile on this checklist is the 2012 SAAB 9-5 SportCombi. We’ve to confess that this seems to be superior, however once more, we’ve got to ask what the technological or historic significance might presumably be. The 2012 Skoda Fabia Greenline II is just not blessed with attractiveness, so we’re scratching our heads over this one.
Equally, we surprise why anybody would wish to threat scratching their cranium in opposition to the asphalt within the scary 2002 Sensible Crossblade. You would not have to fret about toppling over within the 2019 Tazzari Microlino prototype, an electrical bubble automobile, however you won’t make it past your driveway both.
Then we’ve got Bug followers, who tried to get exemptions for the 2000 Volkswagen Beetle and the 2003-2004 Volkswagen Beetle Final Version. Lastly, the 2012-2013 Volkswagen Polo TDI BlueMotion was barred, in all probability due to its smoking behavior. Earlier than Dieselgate, VW appeared to be pioneering environment friendly diesels, however the scandal killed that concept.
So there you will have it. All 48 automobiles that the NHTSA refused to grant eligibility to below the Present or Show rule.
