I'm not claiming that one of the cars you mention is safer than the other or that one is cleaner than the other. I will claim that a new car legal for sale in the US is safer and cleaner than any car you mentioned. That's the point, new cars must meet minimum standards. Older cars do not. The fact that older cars do not need to meet todays standards does not justify you driving an illegal car on the road.
So explain to me then why, if it is really about "cleaner and safer," the old cars are still legal, why in 25 years I will be able to purchase and legally drive around these same "illegal because of not being clean and safe enough" cars that we are discussing?

You are really stuck on me somehow driving an illegal car on the road, huh? I will write this for you here so you won't have to look back at the earlier post that I have referred you to: Actually, I will never buy a 340R. This is just for general informational purposes and edification of my knowledge base only.
