Explain the stupidity of displacement taxes to me

Here they just have tax brackets based on CO2 output per km. Go 1g/km over one bracket's limit? Have fun paying a completely fucking arbitrary percentage extra.

Oh, and then add 21% sales tax on top of the whole thing because fuck you.
This is how you end up with tiny 1.0l cityboxes costing less than across the border, and V8 Mustangs that start at over 100k.

Just move out of the 3rd world cuck state of a country you live in and find someplace with more freedom, OP.

Problem solved.

For weapons to circle jerk about their 'smaller but more efficient' penises.

It's just a hangover from the 1930s or something.

RX-8 is a 3.9l wankel and its 'emissions and efficiency per litre' is irrelevant in comparison to reciprocating piston engines. As result of the design fuel goes straight into exhaust. Not a problem with pistonshit.
Old piston engines had very limited technology, displacement heavily factored into power and emissions/efficiency. Modern engine tech is crazy.

Taxing based on displacement is some straight up backwards ass shit. Bumping up insurance premiums because of displacement and not taking power or weight into consideration is even more backwards ass!

well netherlands everything is taxed so far out the ass that you can't afford to live so you get benefits from the government which you just pay into anyway its pretty retarded
