This makes no sense. The Felicia is currently available in the UK with
the original Skoda 1.3L, but also with the VW corporate 1.6L petrol and
1.9L diesel engines -- which certainly meet the EU and British emission
standards.

The Skoda Felicia GLXi 1.6L costs about #8,700 in the UK, almost #2,000
less than the substantially smaller VW Polo L 1.6L with the identical
powertrain.
