That would never fly in the US, although the automakers and UAW

subsidizing High Def TV converters when the change comes about so
people's TVs don't become obsolete. I can only imagine the hooha about
trying to take older cars off the road and out of the hands of the poor,
etc.

....and rightfully so. The US has a significant love affair with some
of our classic and older cars. Even some of the brand new models are
styled like cars from generations past. A desire for certain aspects
of the past is a permanent epidemic here.

The government does a lot of silly things here, but taking away older
cars is unlikely to ever be one of them.
