If it can pass safety and pollution standards in USA, I doubt that it can be very similar to Thai models.

I wonder if smiling blond comes with it?

The Tuk Tuk is the vehicle of choice in Thailand?

I see some limited success in USA in the same market a John Deere type 4 wheeled vehicle is used around the corporate campus and the university or golf courses. This vehicle is not suitable for the longer over the road travel and in my opinion is dangerous with the 3 wheels.

I wonder if the Bangkok tuk tuk drivers will offer their American counterparts some driving lessons.

I saw one zip past me in Tokyo. It was very quiet and no/low smog production.

I doubt that it is a two-stroke version though, as that would not meet the pollution standards. I ran into one Tuk Tuk here in Chiang Mai just a few nights ago that had been converted to a four-stroke engine of some kind. Wasn't for hire.... just some guy's private ride only driven during water-throwing festivals.

I wonder if the practice of handing out flash cards of working girls will be allowed in the States also?
