Small engines with bad or no mufflers arer just as bad as big cars. How about planting some trees? or forcing the plants to have taller exhaust stacks? You’re right zeeck.

Vehicles with more than 4-litres in capacity such as the Merc S-class, BMW 7-series and supercars will continue to be snapped up by the rich, who are getting richer by the day - a 40 percent tax will not deter these people. ---- This post has been listed on http://www.DriveCritic.com/ I think the biggest change will be in the 2-4 litre engine range with the new rate at 25 percent.

That will really cut down on the polution. There are plenty of 2.5-3.5L engines in US cars that qualify for ULEV and PZEV certification.

I read how much Michael Phelps eats for breakfast. Dude. That would take me 2 or 3 days of 3 meals per day to eat. He eats three fried-egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise, two cups of coffee, a five-egg omelet, a bowl of grits, three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar and three chocolate-chip pancakes. That's just breakfast. Dayum! I had homemade zucchini bread for breakfast and a large home brewed coffee. I read how much Michael Phelps eats for breakfast. Dude.

When you need a 4.0L V6 to produce 200 HP, and 4.6L V8 to do 300HP, you have got issues. This will force the Chinese to buy better cars and not the car ford and GM are trying to ship over.
