To Peter: nothing to do with safe those cars have no power unlike new cars specially TDIs. It's all about the money!!!

@ Jenni. If that's what you think that's fine. But why don't you back up your statement with something. If that's what I am then tell me how. Next time keep your comments to your self unless you have some kind of ground to stand on!
One international government can't work because each country has its own needs and on flat set of rules would deny solutions to large but localized problems.
I thought rich people drove classics, dumasses didn't think this through.
A big world gov would actually be really good, on paper. But communism, on paper, also looked really good. We all know how that turned out.
The EU should not have any say as to what a country can or can not do let alone fine them for something so trivial. This big one world government is total crap! And the US is quickly on its way to becoming just like it!
Description: It's claimed air pollution results in 43,000 deaths per year in France and cuts the lives of Parisians by six months compared to those that dwell outside the capital. Opponents of the proposal no...

I have an idea lets go back to horse and buggy. The only thing we will have to deal with is all the shit laying around. But hay, at least it's a green way of traveling, or brown rather!
rather than barring a small amount of people from enjoying their vehicles, they should be encouraging and incentivizing the majority to think greener and reduce emissions. so gear heads like us can have our way with our v8s and classics.
Forget your rinky-dink current DS line Citroen - I just want an update version of this.
Hydrolics aren't all that bad and no that's not what I ment by that I love the way these look and the sm had that Maserati v6 which was stellar
If by classic you mean unreliable, quirky, and a pain to work on, then yes "Classic" it is then.

@Clay Been planning on dropping a 4BT Cummims into an old CJ Wrangler someday. They need to bring more of their European cars back here.
@ shelby. After reading more online its gonna either be a heavty fine or impounding. Looks like its leaning more twards impounding. At any rate this is sad when you have to limit cars to keep the pollution from killing people
We really do need more diesels here in the US. Just imagine Chrysler bring back the diesel wrangler. It would be incredible!!
Say someone doesn't follow this law. Would their vehicle be impounded?
Shocking any of the old ass French junk mentioned in this article even still run ! If anybody's gonna suffer its gonna be tow truck drivers and mechanics. Taking all that junk off the road will kill their work load!
They are doing the same thing in Albania. Putting higher tax rates on older vehicles to get them off the road. But France and motorcycles, WTH! Bike under 2004. Not like the French are gonna be speeding in brand new ninjas and aprilia..
What are you talking about? Americans love diesels! The best trucks we have are diesels. And my next daily driver will be a Jetta TDI once my Focus craps out.
I'm sure the old busses and trucks do most of the polluting. Take them out and leave the cars and bikes alone.
Newer diesels burn cleaner than newer gas engines but older ones do not.
I love diesels. All car fanatics want more diesels in the US. Don't be a dumbass.
It an American sight so bound to be biased against diesels. Love their petrols that do shit all to the gallon
An A3 TDI diesel puts out less pollution than its gas equivalent? What's the beef with Diesel?
You must have forgotten about the XM and, although not a great saloon, the C6 is a true, great Citröen.
Kinda looks like a retro version of the vw bus can anyone tell me what this is?
So slow, the Gendarme couldn't catch a cold in this! Love the classic lines of it all the same.
French cars like this Renault 4 had so much charm. Such a shame a lot of that has gone.
Public pay roll employees with clout instead of working for the people they hired them at the first place they hassled them by absurd laws & fines.
Another city without a soul soon. Greedy politicians
This is retarded!
Good old French pseudo-communism
Not much of a loss.....
I'm no expert on the French constitution but doesn't this infringe on some right?
What a terrible idea.
Oh god... Didnt think about the classic bugattis
Btw, I hate European classic cars because their styling and power doesn't appeal to me, however I understand that some people enjoy them for their own various reasons, and I respect that and believe they should be entitled to keep them.
He has no right to take away people's prized possessions. If that law passes (which I doubt) it will be discriminating against people who enjoy classic automobiles, which is wrong. I would love to meet that Mayor... He would hate to meet me.
This is too stupid to comment... Let's also ban the mayor from farting to avoid pollution
I live in Paris and i really hope this law doesnt pass, i love classics
What about the classic Bugattis?
James: was it really that hard to read the first page of the article?
It's not an EU law it's a proposed new rule made by the Mayor of Paris.
Why? Another stupid EU law! I drive 22 years old mr2 and I wouldn't change that for any new piece of computer crap!
Garret I think all citizens of all countries hate their president
Rebellion? :P
Weeks later... Over half the population of Paris have now moved to other areas of France. I can see it happening.
*French president*
I hate the new president now.... WTF cars are there to be admired now when I go back to Paris I won't see any nice cars
I will secede before this is passed in the US
@Patrick CarBuzz users will cede from the Union before that hah.
The US will never go down this road. I won't let it.
Please is there any classic car in France at all?????
US will head down same road soon. O well :(
And France lol
Fck framce
Motorcycles before 2004? They can't be that much worse than newer motorcycles.
While I agree that the ban is more or less stupid, it's hardly a "Theory" that these cars and bikes are more pollutant.
I guess they finally realized their "classic" domestic cars just aren't as awesome as the rest of Europe's haha. "hmm... Citroën 2CV or Aston DB5?"
Stupid. Wow. What an idiot.
This is outrages
all this based on a theory.
