They know the process/refining cost of Euro 4 is higher and the public is not receptive to increases at the pumps (especially near election) which means more subsidies that they can't afford to dole out.They also know that if they could've pushed for Euro 4's higher cost at the pumps AFTER the election, they would not want you to know this so they mention "2 years"... not "6 months"...They used VW or Merc as scapegoats because they know these businesses would not publicly correct them for fear of losing APs, etc... aaahhhh, vested interests!They don't care that the pedestrians and road users will be breathing in harmful chemicals (proven to shorten your life hence Europe is a strong proponent of clean diesel) from the current low quality diesel because there is nothing in it for them if they did care... also the general public is very ignorant of danger of these harmful emissions... and lets not get me started about the environment!Perhaps realistically, you and I can only hope for it when Proton comes out with a diesel engine car... very unlikely, no?I think THEY are very smart and have taken into consideration all issues (that concern them, not us)... if you think they are dumb, they have won the game...</blockquote>
