Because the new standard is much much cheaper, quicker, cleaner, you
name it. All you need is a PC, software, and an OBDII reader. Scan and
done. No reading the exhaust when the O2 sensor in the car has been

system was ridiculous. I don't even own a garage but I felt sorry for
the garage owners having to deal with that for inspections.
