Great article. I would emphasize the term, "grey areas" as a way to view the regulatory environment. There are classifications that allow a variety of non-conforming applications, one example is if the production numbers are under 300. This particular rule allows some vehicles to not perform to environmental or safety standards. The massive deregulation that began in the Regan administration has led to a hodgepodge of rules & classifications that make it difficult to determine whether this benefits the manufacturer, the consumer, or neither.
