Actually, Paul;
The standars for emissions have been phased in gradually, in "tiers".
There's been a strong push from the car mfgs, starting at least a decade
ago, to make authorities in both the EU, USA, Japan and others harmonise
the timing of the phase-in.
There's no more "banning" in the US than elsewhere, so sales drops are
more likely due to other factors such as customer preference or
market-regulating import tariffs.

The trend here in India is for Diesel Cars as Diesel Fuel is 30%
Cheaper than Petrol.
And Trucks, Busses, Tractors, Trains. Generators etc were always Diesel.
What a waste in transporting just one chap in one vehicle. Our roads
are chock a block with
traffic moving at snails pace during the Office Commute Hours.
In Delhi, India's Capital, ODD & Even numbered cars ply on alternate
days, such are the levels
of pollution, smog & fog so as to disrupt Flights, Trains & Highway traffic.
