Porsche Threatens To Sue E.U. Over Restrictive Emissions Regulations

European leaders have recently come out in support of proposed EU CO2 standards that aim to cut average CO2 emissions for new vehicles from the present limit of 160g/km by 25% to 120g/km. Porsche does not believe its cars would be able to meet such a standard, and has threatened to take legal action if the EU does pass the new law, reports AFP.

Porsche, however, stressed that such legal action was only theoretical at this point, with any legal action occurring only after a visit to the EU commission to make its case on the grounds that such a law would violate fair trade principles within the EU.

Me too. If the EU gets too stupid about this, Porsche should move all its operations to North America. With car companies leaving or thinking about leaving Detroit, I'm sure that Michigan can come up with some good incentives to make this happen.
