Only in Switzerland.
In all other European countries, we have a trucking lobby that makes sure they can get away with ruining our air for cheap.

Audi doesn't get it how to build sport cars.
They have to reduce weight, not build super large power engines!
The return on investment clearly favors increased power over reduced weight. Power sells and appeals to everyone. Reduced weight is divisive, as it implies trade-offs that make most customers go away - even on a sports car.
It's not rational, but it works that way. That said, it might change if oil prices keep creeping up...
