Re: US emissions standards

Frank,

I believe that Mass. has adopted Calif. emissions standards.  So has
New York and Connecticut.  I doubt that Audi would build two versions
since the first and third most populous states are now the same.  Dealers
would have a hard time swapping vehicles.

There was no mention of this when we were shopping for a minivan in NH.
I think that all of the dealers there ordered CA-CT-MA-NY versions.  The
Chrysler web pages detail the vehicle's specs depending on which state you
specify.  3.3 liter engine for CA-CT-MA-NY and 3.0 liter everywhere else.

You could call a dealer and find out.
