“Car without a ‘Euro-2′ to prohibit entry to the center of Moscow “
Ah, to live in a country where the powers-that-be can just… be. As Auto-Lenta.ru [via Autobloggreen] reports in its own special way (that’s a pretty politically powerful car!), Moscow authorities are saying nyet to passenger vehicles that don’t meet Euro-II pollution standards (which is just about everything running made before 2005). These dirty cars are now запÑеÑеннÑй from entering the city center. Autobloggreen pronounces the decision an environmental initiative– but they would, wouldn’t they? The ban couldn’t possibly have anything to do with stimulating new car sales or giving the commissars more parking spaces or tidying-up the city for tourists or anything other than saving the children. Meanwhile, fans of Borat are immediately ordered to click on this link, for a translated car review called “Good outside, inside the gray.” “Volkswagen Touran was not just a car, but also funny toy. Tell me, what machines have officially sold in Russia, may be to amuse a little semi-parking system, which itself steep steering wheel?” True dat.
