Even new cars are gross polluters depending on where they're sold. Take a brand new car purchased in Mexico City or Calcutta and bring it to California and it would fail its smog test miserably.
GM, Ford, Toyota, etc all love to tell us how green they are with their emissions equipment installed on new cars but they put the bare minimum on cars sold elsewhere on the world. Many countries around the world are supposed to have adopted the latest Euro 6/VI stage emissions standards, but haven't.
