Getting an Enum or Static Property from Generic Reference Type <T>

Question

So if there is an enum property in a class called Bar, why can't I access the enum property or any static property of type <T> in this situation. I am implicitly declaring that <T> is of type Bar. Just wanted to know if it's simply a limitation of Generics or the enum type itself.

public class Foo<T> where T : Bar
{
     public Foo()
     {
         // This obviously works
         var car = Bar.Cars.Honda;
         var name = Bar.Name;  

         // Why can't I do this ?
         var car2 = T.Cars.Toyota;
         var name2 = T.Name;
     }
}

public class Bar
{
     public static string Name { get; set; }
     public enum Cars
     {
         Honda,
         Toyota
     };
}

UPDATED

In @Frederik Gheysels's answer, it's mentioned that if I have a class that is simply derived from Bar that I wouldn't have access to the enum or any static of the base. That is not correct, this compiles and works.

public class Foo : Bar
{
    public Foo()
    {
        // This all works
        var address = this.Address;
        var car = Foo.Cars.Honda;
        var name = Foo.Name;
    }
}

public class Bar
{
    public static string Name { get; set; }
    public string Address { get; set; }
    public enum Cars
    {
        Honda,
        Toyota
    }
}

Answer 1

your Cars enum, is a nested type inside class Bar. It is not a member property / method of Bar. Therefore, it is not possible.

Cars is just a nested type of Bar. When you create another class, which derives from Bar, lets call it Bar2, you will not have access to Bar2.Cars neither, since that type will not be created. Nested types are not instance members, and are thus not inherited.
