Better than airbags, how about bike lanes (where there aren't any), heavy citations for idiot cyclists (ignoring road rules), and very heavy penalties for motoring idiots who fail to watch out for cyclists.
And the US should have bicycle lighting laws like Germany has - if you build a bike, you SHALL have reflectors and SHALL have lights that operate automatically (generator driven and come on whenever the bike is in motion).
The roads were initially for cyclists, horse-drawn carraiges, and trolleys.

Oh, another thing.
BMW would probably not design a front fascia in which a Euro plate would hang slightly over the lower air intake.

- The apparent rubber strips at edges of the headlights seem a little wider BMW quality control would allow.
- Different edges and seams have different levels of crispness (Mark Miller mentioned the missing bumper seam.

Yep, shoulda been a Chevy.
The whole Commodore/Statesman/Ute lineup should have come to the US as Chevys as follows (Holden -> Chevy):
- Commodore/Berlina/Calais Sedan & Sport Wagon (Omega to SS V) -> Impala Sedan and Wagon (various trim/performance packages)
- Ute (all models) -> El Camino (comparable models, including trayback varieties)
- Statesman/Caprice -> Caprice and Caprice Classic models in base to luxury trims (Omega to flagship plus SS/SS V)
- Commodore Coupe segment represented by Camaro lineup (Coupe 60-style body not used in US market)
Similar trim and performance packages should be available across all four main body types (Commodore/Ute/SportWagon/Statesman) to broaden the appeal.

@P161911
Just so you know, most of the road design here in the US is made up of arterial road that connect subdivisions.

Interesting, the red one in the Corvette reserved space facing the building is a Euro-spec version.

What's the point?
Palm OS and others already provide the book reader function.
