I think if that level of safety is good enough for me it should be good enough for everybody, but if someone wants more safety equipment I don't know why it couldn't be an optional extra, as it was on Tempos when airbags were first offered.

And, I'm not talking about pollution but if I was I'd say lighter vehicles = downsized engines = less pollution. Yes I think better engine mgmt systems are a good thing... to a point. There is a point at which further pollution reductions are subject to the same scrutiny.
