Why are non-Americans so allergic to engine displacement and cylinder count?
>>
Aussies aren’t. Makes me wonder how many more American engines we’d see under the hoods of European cars if it weren’t for displacement tax and diesel subsidies. The European auto industry could’ve been so much better.

How are the auto regulations in Australia?

>>28848698
A lot more laxed than Europe, though, not quite the third world tier freedom you get in America. Australia is proof that if it weren’t for displacement regulations, manufactures would naturally gravitate towards higher capacity engines. Especially for industrial and performance robust power delivery matters most. Imagine if Japan had no displacement tax. The Supra would’ve came with an optional V8 and so would the Skyline. The only reason Toyota developed their V8 was for the American market Lexus brand. Nissan developed theirs for racing. The japs know displacement is king, they just can’t shove it into everything like Americans and aussies can.
>>
Because electric vehicles make engine displacement irrelevant. Like how SSDs make drive RPMs irrelevant.

Women and alphabet people prefer rube goldberg machines over EVs.

>>28848698
doesn't matter m8 our auto-industry is dead and we get whatever the Japanese, Muricans or Koreans send us
right up until it died though it was all about shoving 4 L straight sixes into basic passenger cars (unless you buy the 5L V8 option, of course)

Depends on the state, some states require a rwc every year. Those states are cucked

The rest of the world is scared of real engines.

A GR86 costs about 100k EUR (approx 110k USD) here because of ecotaxes. Fuel is also very expensive because of taxes.
Europe (yes as a whole) is no fun allowed, the continent.
If you a 3-digits IQ, the only reason to work in Europe and not just collect social security and live in the pod is to try and migrate to the US.
You know you can (and will) get fined for going too fast on mountain bike trails where I live? Police can stop and search you with no probable cause. It's illegal to insult someone. You can't fight tickets.
Can't camp on public land. Can't ride dirtbikes. etc
