"A Miami auto distributor will be able to sell a Romanian off-road vehicle in the U.S. without air bags until May 2008, the Associated Press reported.   The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration allowed the exemption for Cross Lander USA Inc. after finding the company could go out of business without it, the story said. The company will be required to put a sticker in the vehicle warning buyers that there are no air bags.   U.S. safety rules require air bags for the driver and front passenger in vehicles that weigh less than 5,500 pounds, unless a company can prove it faces &amp;quot;substantial economic hardship&amp;quot; and tried to meet the safety standards.   The Cross Lander 244X is made by Romanian automaker Aro SA and the company has said it planned to sell them for about $20,000. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
