Emissions makes sense, period.
Give the amount of cheating VW was caught with (and the fact that it was a WV lab contracted to do real-world testing for EU diesel standards using CARB methods), every automaker moving forward doesn't want to get caught with anything resembling an emissions cheat, even if it was close.
Perhaps CA regulations prevented rest of NA from getting upgrades, but CA regulations also caught the biggest emissions cheat in history. I'm okay with that.
