Seems like yesterday car buyers in United States were insufficiently "woke" in embracing diesel engines in their passenger vehicles. How things change... Now Germany is apparently just going to outright ban the use of the oil burners! I guess this is a case of people getting the government they deserve? :

From Autoblog:

Quote:
BERLIN - German cities are entitled to ban older diesel vehicles from streets with immediate effect to bring air pollution levels in line with European Union rules, Germany's top administrative court confirmed on Friday.

In a 30-page statement on the ruling which was published on Friday, Germany's administrative court in Leipzig said there should be no grace periods for driving bans.

Immediate driving bans on major roads or road sections would be legitimate and could affect all models excluding those meeting the latest Euro-6 emissions standards, the ruling statement said. Euro-6 was phased in 2014.
