European safety-styled cars due in U.S.

摘要

European styling is migrating to U.S. showrooms as global automakers race to comply with new EU safety rules. Tougher European Union regulations take effect next year aimed at better protecting pedestrians who are struck by vehicles. As a result, the next generation of many vehicles sold globally will have higher hood lines and lower bumpers - changes designed to soften the blow to a pedestrian's head and legs during a crash. The prevalence of vehicles designed for global markets means these styling changes are making their way to the United States on many nameplates due out this year.
