I don't know why you can't get the foreign vehicles you want. But I'm sure the reason is NOT because they aren't made by an American country. If we all flip our garage doors open right now more than half of them have ricers.

Maybe you are missing the point. What I'd like to see is a better pool of quality vehicles we as american consumers have a choice of driving.
Our selections of vehicles should be much broader. American car manufacturers have many if not more issues than your "ricers." They are no longer built with good materials by hard working americans. Things have changed for the worse across the board.
The Government and customs have laws and restrictions on many imports that are more fuel efficient and better built than what we have available at dealerships. If they were allowed here, It would force our american dealerships to produce higher quality vehicles.
The majority of imports that you can get are only feasible by the super rich as novelties, not intended as daily drivers.
What's available should be driven by technology and customer demand. I would bet that most car buyers really don't care if their car is gas or electric. They care what it costs, what the fuel costs are, what the maintenance costs are, and if it can go as far as they need it to go without refueling.
Neither federal nor state government should have a say in what fuel the vehicle will use.
Other than a ricer when I was an E-4 in the military, and couldn't afford an American made car, all my cars have been from Americans companies. However, the "American Made" part is pretty watered down anymore.
What cars would you like to see sold here? Buick Envision, Lincoln Nautilus, Volvo S90, Cadillac CT6 Plug-in Hybrid are made in China. Kia, Hyundai, are made in South Korea, Chevrolet Trax and Chevrolet Trailblazer are rebadged Daewoo's made in South Korea.
I wish I could buy an American made car, but I can't anymore. I come from manufacturing, so I understand that where a car is made and where it is assembled are not the same things.
All cars are the highest quality and the safest they have ever been. To say American cars are of lesser quality, from previous years, or less quality than foreign cars is ridiculous. From 1980 to 2022 the U.S had a 49% increase in population and a 17% decrease in fatal traffic accidents. That's from quality and safety products on vehicles.
As long as theres money to be made by keeping us in the dark things will continue to progress as they have for years. This includes restricting what vehicles are available to us.

Is Ford/Chebby versus "ricer" even a valid argument considering how many Japanese companies build stateside?
