Anyway, I thought German automakers were ahead of the curve in terms of designing vehicles with lower CO2 exhaust levels?

Truth unfolds in time through a communal process.

Re: You tell 'em, Guenther (none / 1)

I'd heard the opposite. The Germans are big on turbo diesel technology, which is very fuel efficient but has serious problems with emissions.

Re: You tell 'em, Guenther (none / 1)

They've been very good at reducing emissions level, but as they start from much higher, their numbers are still weak in absolute terms. A 1-ton car with a 4-cylinder 1.4l engine has inherently lower emissions than a 2-ton car with a 6-cylinder 3.5l engine.

In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
