    I believe the origination of the name "Scrum" was the badge name given to the Suzuki when it was imported to Australia by Mazda.

    I will correct my statement, the Scrum was a rebadged Suzuki sold in Japan under the Mazda Brand.

    In Australia they were supposedly imported under the name Holden Scurry.

    I know that not all states require an emissions test when buying a vehicle. The federal government might be saying it but I have never once dealt with the federal government while getting a drivers license, registering or renewing a registration....or anything dealing with a motor vehicle. It's always the states that put the law down on vehicles and every state I have been to was different.

    Google state safety and emissions testing. They are long and complicated. The federal government has no say on this one.

    One must show the vehicle complies with EPA and DOT laws in order to TITLE the vehicle. Somewhere along the line, one must come up with an original title in order to register a vehicle, in ANY state. All states have emission laws, and all states will require the vehicle to be manufactured for sale in the US under US emission laws or an exemption shown prior to issuing an original title. If you don't have EPA and DOT approval when the vehicle is imported, you can never title it.

    If you can't title it, you can't register it.

    https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/de...ments-for-importing-a-vehicle-/-vehicle-parts

    I had a buddy who somehow managed to smuggle in a BMW motorcycle years ago that was designed for sale in Europe. After trying unsuccessfully to register it in three different states (Washington, Oregon, and California), California DOT confiscated it. He never saw it again.

    The companies importing these units know they can never be licensed, and that is why they are promoting them for off road use. In most states they could never be operated off of private property. Had they ever been manufactured for sale in the USA, it would be much easier. Also, those units over 25 years old are exempt from being manufactured for use in the USA, but must still be modified by DOT specs so that they are incapable of going over 25 MPH.

    Under the hood of every car manufactured for sale in the US since the 70's was an emission sticker. The sticker states "this motor vehicle was manufactured in compliance with US EPA emission laws applicable to **** model year motor vehicles". California cars had their own stricter guidelines, and the emission sticker reflected it if the car were made to those standards.

    Cars have been my main source of income since the 70's, until just the last few years.

    If you really want to know, why don't you email the company you linked to and ask them if their multicabs can be licensed for the highway in the US? I'm betting they will talk around the subject, but not tell you a definite "yes".

    I'll shoot the guy an email. I think that link I posted that covered the states licensing of mini trucks shows that it can be driven on public roads in most states. Might be registered as a farm truck or a off road vehicle but many states allow fourwheelers and other off road vehicles to be driven on the road (I used to drive mine to school from time to time when my heap of shite car broke down). A conversion kit was needed to put a license plate and turn signals on though. I also was required to drive on the shoulder of the highway. :wink:

    I don't really care......I'm just that bored. :rolleyes:

    Btw, these states have no safety, emissions or VIN inspections:
    Alaska
    Arkansas
    Iowa
    Kentucky
    Michigan
    Minnesota
    Montana
    North Dakota
    South Carolina
    South Dakota

    Here is a list of state by state emissions and safety laws. The federal government has only required that states make up their own emissions laws.

    Great, but where does your title come from? Surely you don't think you can just walk into a DMV and trade in a Japanese title for one from Montana?

    I shot them an email too. For now, I am done with this off topic subject, to be continued at a later date.
