Not for long and possibly not at all. The diversity in Europe is wider than in the US. Six wheeled cars are common enough; in China and Indo-china two wheeled cars are commonplace.
I have not seen any six wheel car. It makes me think of American limousines, though.
Right now we are seeing many shifts. it used to be that headlights were standardized - those "sealed beam" units. Now the size and shape and nature of headlamps is all over the place and you have the option of LEDS. Or better still, you can even go for after market replacement of your xenon tube headlight with leds.
Well, in Spain changing the lights is illegal, making the car non road worthy. In Britain I understand you can highly customize a car; in Spain not at all, unless you want it for out of road exhibitions.
Another analogy is planes. The traditional cross shaped plane just HAS to fly, but some of the military ones are just lifting bodies with powerplants; they can fly at any angle. Think of the old WW2 movies with the planes doing strafing runs. They had a limited scope in the dive and pull-out when there guns were pointing low enough. Some modern warcraft can - almost- fly nose-down for extended stretches. they can fly with one wing blown off. Normal ideas of "aerodynamics" no longer apply.
Yes, they can fly a stone with a motor attached, true, but it is not economical: it uses a lot of fuel. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
