European countries already have a hand in the US truck market. Freightliner and Sterling trucks are owned by Mercedes as well as Detroit Diesel. Volvo owns Volvo trucks and Mack. Volvo makes several diesel engines in Europe that are used in US trucks. New Holland-Case IH farm and construction equipment are owned mainly by Fiat. Looks to me like Europe has their hands in the mess also.

I don't believe a manufacturer can sell a motor vehicle that doesn't meet noise limit laws. After market exhaust systems may be louder than legal, and people are ticketted all the time for it.
