I guess it's only sales of new cars? Otherwise I can't imagine the classic car community is going to be happy about that...

And laws like that will just make even older vehicles more desirable.

It's just a target [1], and isn't even set as a target until some other tax stuff changes. See section 6 of [2] to really see that nothing is banned.

There's already a classic car exception from a lot of road rules, there's a special numberplate for them.

Those rules are radically different depending on state or country (dunno if non-US countries mess with automotive rules depending on region).
