Public health is more important than cars getting sportier. Particulate emissions are a real health hazard, causing respiratory illnesses for millions of people each year. The negative externalities of air pollution are huge, and it's not an exaggeration to say that air pollution is directly causing the deaths of 6 figures of people every year, who would otherwise not have died.
Every single one of us has lungs and breathes the air around us. Stricter emissions controls are better for all of us.
