From wikipedia


In 2005, the new Morgan Aero 8 model (versions 2 and 3) received a three year exemption from rear impact non-compliance,[11] along with a separate exemption for compliance with "advanced airbag requirements."[12] The rear-impact exemption lapsed in May 2008 without further application. Morgan has indicated to its US dealers that it plans to re-apply for US certification for some model at as yet an undetermined date in the future.[citation needed]


(Is it safer than a motorcycle?)

Greenheads in the UK attacked Morgan in the 90's with emissions standards so they had to stop making their own parts, and BMW allowed them to start using their parts. Now the car company is not safe enough.


Morgan makes 600 cars per year. 200 of them are the Morgan Aero, and each Morgan Aero costs 150K-200K

Meh, if Henry Ford tried to do today, what he did back then to start Ford Motor Company, he'd be arrested.

Just another day in Amerika, where the new motto is "Safety Uber Alles".
