Maybe thats their master plan? Make people buy new cars every few years? My 930's carbon footprint is nothing compared to what we'll be dealing with in todays cars, And the Gov. is feeding the fire.
I'm with you there. It's called planned obsolecense...high tech cars will become obsolete because they (the manufacturers) want people to buy new, not keep the old running.
Which is what drives people like us, keeping the 930's alive.
