[urq] 20V Wondering

says it has to meet US bumper standards,  and stuff like 'the importer 
must contract with a DOT-registered importer (RI) to modify the vehicle 
and certify that it conforms to all applicable FMVSS.  The importer must also post a DOT bond for one and a half times the vehicle’s dutiable 
value.  This bond is in addition to the normal CBP entry bond.  Copies 
of the DOT bond and the contract with the RI must be attached to the 
HS-7 form'

I did a quick check, and it sure looks like the EPA and NHTSA rules clearly state that vehicles older than 25 years (NHTSA) and 21 years (EPA) can be imported without much difficulty ...

I'm not convinced it can be done.    I think there are a few rules involved, not just 25 years and you're in the clear.  BTW - can we blame Mercedes Benz for making it too expensive,  not only for individuals wanting old cars  but for big manufactures to bring new cars into the USA?     My old brains cells make me think it was M-B that lobbied hardest to limit our choices for the purpose of maxing their profits.

Just curious if anyone has considered, or is in the process of bringing in a 20V urq to the US under the 25 year rule?
