I would rather have cleaner air.

>emissions standards should be overhauled to reflect the growing consumer demand for larger, less fuel-efficient vehicles such as pickup trucks.
>With prices below $3 a gallon, the companies are eager to capitalize on the demand for larger vehicles. About three in five new vehicles sold in the United States are pickups and sport utilities, and analysts expect the trend to continue and expand into global markets as well.
oh great. more SUVs and pickups

Aa long as we keep limits on factories we're fine. Maybe not California, but fuck California.

They didn't, if you don't get the sarcasm in that post.

That's God's punishment for their faggotry

>>16781939
Reminder California passed a law to make engines cause less pollution and it worked

In 1963 you wouldn't be able to even see the city

Reminder: Deforestation is a major player in global warming and global warming is only really a problem for polar bears and liberals

Ya stupid fucks forget one thing: automakers can make high-efficiency engines regardless if the government mandates it or not.

This isn't the end as alarmist-Jalopnik puts it. It is the reopening of creativity and variety. Of course most commuter vehicles will trend towards more efficient engines because lots of people care about MPGs. But CAFE safety standards and efficiency, diametric opposites in many cases, will no longer force your "sports" car to have a turbo 4-cyl.

>>16782468
it's funny until you realize they are polluting the whole planet
china too

>>16782736
Sports cars will not be the beneficiaries of this change in regulations as they sell in relatively small numbers.
The real outcome of relaxed fleet averages will be larger heavier mass market vehicles like SUVs and CUVs.

>>16782804
>larger heavier SUVs
Government regulation created the SUV.

Now me n my five underparented kids can shit up the world as we idle our cadillac escalade with no catacon in the walmart parking lot playin candy crush on our jewphones
Dog bless america y didn't we think of it sooner

lol americans

Keep in mind cars that hold their shape the best transfer the most energy to passengers.

>>16781939
LA smog isn't important to anyone that lives outside of that overpopulated shithole surrounded by geography that doesn't let pollution dissipate and filter naturally.

Local laws for extreme circumstances are one thing. Forcing everyone in the entire fucking country to pretend they're in LA is something completely different.

>>16782804
>CUVs
>heavy

CUVs are just tall cars for people that want the seating position of an SUV without any of the other features.

Would this make it more feasible to sell new Doritos here?

As long diesel is properly regulated I don't care.

>>16783307
This. Let municipalities with their own problems legislate emissions laws to their liking

While automotive emissions did need to be reined in considerably I think it would be more effective to go after industrial and other sources now.

You, my good man, are a massive faggot.

>>16782804
stringent nox and co2 regulations are why N/A engines are being phased out though. just compare the yearly co2 tax in england/france/italy for a 2.3 ecoboost vs 5.0 mustang. its easily x2-3 more in taxes for the n/a v8 motor at buy in and every year after.

i bet you guys still think carburetors are better than fuel injection

Man made climate change is a myth created by the Chinese to make American manufacturing less competitive.
And even if it was real what right does the government have to tell people how to conduct their manufacturing, this isn't North Korea.

keep in mind that cars that deform crush their passengers

failure of the a-pillar like that basically guarantees the safety cell has been structurally compromised

>golden age of ridiculous engines and imports
we're just going to keep on getting shitty SUVs and crossovers
companies would (continue to) never bring their cool cars to the US because they'd never sell

>>16782468
No, the climate changes. This is an indisputable fact
Whether or not man has an impact more significant than mother nature herself... that's another story

But keep buying into global warming scam
The billion dollar a day industry needs all the support it can get :^)

>>16790084
>Whether or not man
its not even about man. its literally just about the US, and even then its not about gutting our environmental programs. just toning down some unreasonable regulation and cutting off white mans welfare.

>>16781939

That's what happens when you live in a literal asshole with no wind.

>>16789834
This. If you're stupid enough to breathe air after being warned it's polluted you deserve what you get.

>>16789969
Smart Fourtwo holds it's shape really well, a few years back people kept posting the crash test here talking about how great it was. Well, the IIHS states the force of the impact was "almost certainly fatal"

You don't want a car that folds like a pretzel but at the same time you don't want something that holds it's shape too well, especially if it's a light vehicle as you're fighting momentum.

yeah nah. america is going to get looted. can't wait.

The only reason you think they're cool is because they're not sold in the US.

Man made climate change is a myth but to think China started it is plain ignorance
The climate change regulations and the industry that came from it were pushed by North American businessmen...
One is who hiding in china at the moment because of a shit load of fraud charges but that doesn't support the China started it bullshit

Co2 doesn't matter. Fuck polar bears, and also equatorial regions. They didn't needed to be able to grow crops anyways.

I miss old jalopnik, before they went full retard and started posting shit about sexually abused gymnasts and Trump-induced panicking.

>>16781780
no EPA or regs means most states will fall back to the default California regs (which are the gold standard worldwide).

This means worse regs for most states, then i'm sure southern republican states will go with little or no regulations.

Bet car companies are gonna love that.
