Paris maybe banning all pre-97 cars.
The Article said: "This is for our citizens. It's a public health battle and we've been fighting since 2001 to try and make the air here more breathable," the left-wing mayor told councillors in Paris.
Really? Not as worried about that smell of piss in the streets?
Let them eat cake.

Thats not urine. Thats the smell of diesel urea exhaust fluid. They love their diesels in Europe! :)
good thing I do not live in paris.. none of my cars would be legal
From the UK Locost forum on this same subject:
"I've just got back from Paris, spent a long weekend there visting family. I have to say, the LAST thing they should be worrying about is traffic in the capital. Yes its bad, (no different from any other capital city) but they should be spending the money regenerating the area that look like the shanty towns of Sau Paulo! Apparantly, they have had an influx of imigrants from Romania who have set up these little fuvelas underneath every motor way intersection and derlict bit of land. Looks unbelievably awful."

Makes you wonder what the would do if you reacted C'était un rendez-vous... 
In reply to 93EXCivic:

From this day forth, I'm banning Paris.
People are shocked that the french had a stupid idea?
Read folks.
It's a proposal, and from one individual, the governor of Paris, Bertrand Delanoe. It's got virtually no support.
A lot less silly than banning giant soft drinks to prevent obesity.
