Without knowing what their average emissions targets are, and where they sit with them, then I can't answer that. They are bringing a lot of EV's to market, and hybrids though.

But yes, these average emissions targets are going to kill off a lot of good performance vehicles. The Focus RS has already been killed, and the Renault Sport models are heading the same way.

Kind of sucks really. They should provide an exemption for the top performance model in the range, that it's emissions aren't counted against the cap. But that's just my opinion.
