Some of Australia’s best-selling utes and 4x4s could disappear from our streets under proposed new engine emission rules.

Federal transport minister Catherine King announced last week that from 2025, all new cars would need to require with strict European emissions standards.

Critics say the law is aimed at targeting big trucks and 4x4s – a staple of the Australian weekend. But supporters say the changes are needed if we’re to meet our emissions targets.

What do you think?

What a load of crap. We are told that these new fuel efficiencies will save up to $1000 each year for each vehicle. Also the cost of the new vehicles will rise by around $8000.
Simple mathematics says that we have NO PERSONAL BENEFIT until the vehicle is 8 years old. If we buy a new car every 5 years on average, WE LOSE!
I’ll stick to my 20yo car until it dies somewhere in the next 20 – 25 years.
