Interesting that this is focused on the UK and mentions Europe. I (like other commenters) expected this was about the US market before I read the article.

That would mean they were subject to EURO emissions regulations.

Boring coloured SUV is the British car landscape now. The motorways are depressing enough but it's a grey scale dystopia now.
