From what I have heard of proposed EU legislation to reduce the emissions of new cars I can only conclude that the hot hatch will be outlawed! More power = More fuel burned and CO2 is a by product of this burning process so the only way that car makers can fit in will be to reduce the power of the engine and make the engine more economical.
European Union Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas wants car makers to achieve an average emissions target of 120 grams of CO2 per kilometer by 2012.
The 2005 average emission level for new European cars was 162 grams of CO2 per km.
So whatdo you think of all this? How far are you willing to go to save the planet? Will you sacrifice power for economy? Would you rather plant a few trees and offset your carbon footprint? Would you cut down on the frequency and distance you drive?
