If the car has already been certified and is in production, why would regulatory costs be an issue? I can see where it would be an issue for the development of new models, but not after it's in production, unless there are new regulations that are going into affect which require retrofitting or retooling.
They mean they can no longer justify certifying their new models for sale in the U.S. due to the cost of doing so vs the small volumes they end up selling there.
