All the Euros, I've read about half of the new issue of EVO and it sounds like the performance car industry is on the verge of a crisis. Fleet averages of 250g/km by 2010 in Belgium, 950 British Pounds tax on any car that emits more than 255g of CO2 per year. It sounds like anything more powerful than a Smart is about to be banned or taxed to ridiculous levels. Is this true? Is it that bad?

What is it that seems to have the lunatics so up in arms? Is it the speeding? The flashiness or are they really dumb enough to think these new regulations will really make a difference?

Finally, what cars seem aggravate the lunatics the most? I know SUVs, particularly Land Rovers drive them nuts, but what else? Supercars like Ferrari and Lambo? Sports cars like Porsche and 350Z? High-end luxury cars like the SL and M6? Hyperluxury cars like Rolls-Royces and Bentleys?
