It is a precedent that Porsche and Ferrari refused to go along with the voluntary limits on European auto performance, and everybody seemed to have stayed happy. The tree-huggers still declared victory, even though those companies were still making cars with speed and power well in excess of the so-called restrictions.
Hopefully the two smallest Japanese manufacturers (who also are the main performance companies), Kawasaki and Suzuki, will do the same, perhaps promising to only make a couple of models, with low production volume, which significantly exceed the voluntary limits...I.E. like it is now. Essentially nothing would change, but everybody could declare victory. However, the tree-huggers will only settle for some form of compromise if there is some organized opposition to what they want. You have to weigh in in the political arena. In the US, that's the AMA.
