Don't move to Switzerland

If you have the faintest interest in cars, that is. According to Asphalte.ch, the youth section of the swiss Green Party has proposed a law banning all passenger cars fitting into the follwing:
- has a kerb weight of more than 2.2 tons (4820 lbs)
- or emits more than 250g of CO2 per km
- or has a front facia "dangerous for pedestrians"
Diesel cars without particle filter would be forbidden as well. Non-compliant cars registered before the measure goes into law would be governed at a 100 km/h (62 mph) speed limit.

In other words, most fun cars will be banned in Switzerland if this law proposal gets voted through. Something tells me it won't, but you never know.
