Wow, I would undertand if it was a set model year because there were specific terms made with the manufacturers to make green cars, but not the other way around.
Have a look in Quebec. We pay more for our yearly ownership of vehicule if the car has a bigger engine than a 3.95L up to a maximum of 150$ more if you have a 5.4L + engine.
I think a 4.2L engine cost 90$ more per year to licence, but this is only applicable to model year 1995+.

well when I was in BC back in 2004, cars 15 years and older have to be tested for their drive clean program, and they have to be 100% stock or near to the Manufactures emmissions standards from that time, going back to when the Emmissions laws came into effect. not to mention any car 15 years or older are also required to meet the updated safety requirements, so for example if the car had no seat belts, it would be reqiured to have them installed.
