When do you think America will start allowing the importation of France's car that runs on AIR?

the air car is not banned from importation, you can get one, however it will not pass US crash safety ratings, so the vehicle will fall under NHTSA sub category of LSV CFR 500.501 for a low speed vehicle, and would be restricted to 25 MPH, also the car runs on compressed air at a very high pressure, you would need to buy an extreme duty commercial compressor since that level is not available in this country, that compressor would cost you in the nieghborhood of $75,000 also when you look at the range, speed and efficiency of this car, and the cost of electricity, it really only gets 45 MPG
