The leaders of four major global cities say they will stop the use of all diesel-powered cars and trucks by the middle of the next decade.

The mayors of Paris, Mexico City, Madrid and Athens say they are implementing the ban to improve air quality.
That would pretty well keep the Cruze on the highway and out of these cities. Sounds like a good plan, never bring the Cruze into the city. They could park on the edges and take an Uber Prius into the city. <GRINS>
