http://autos.msn.com/advice/article.aspx?contentid=4024974 > http://autos.msn.com/advice/article.aspx?contentid=4024974 You just love good ol propaganda and buy into everything said with no further research into the matter required! Fact is almost all cars sold today are 50 state emissions qualified. The article would have you believe that only 7 states follow California's strict emissions laws. It also leads you to believe that auto manufactures produce a multitude of models based on different states laws. That was true back in the 70's but not so today. I just bought a new truck. It is 50 state emissions qualified and I'm not in one of the states referred to in the article. The car in question is legal to sell in most states despite the claims otherwise. >> http://autos.msn.com/advice/article.aspx?contentid=4024974 > > You just love good ol propaganda and buy into everything said with no > further research into the matter required! Thats not true, my whole being is based on getting facts and true picture of things.I ran this by a few groups and specifically asked about its potential.

This article has little in it thats true. The vehicles it mentions are available in most states. The entire basis of the article is fiction and meant to drive those that lack knowledge nor will do any research to jump on their political band wagon. > http://autos.msn.com/advice/article.aspx?contentid=4024974 The article mentions that the new Nissan Altima Hybrid is only available in California or one of 6 other NE states that follow California emissions laws. This is a complete fabrication. The Altima Hybrid is available in most states. Dang propaganda at its worst!! >> http://autos.msn.com/advice/article.aspx?contentid=4024974 > > The article mentions that the new Nissan Altima Hybrid is only available > in California or one of 6 other NE states that follow California emissions > laws.

Well my contentions were more into finding out why these cars are not pushed more considering in states like mine where we have had 31 good days of air all year . Today our particulate pollution averaged near 70 while at least half the nation had clean air oh well. > Well my contentions were more into finding out why these cars are not pushed > more considering in states like mine where we have had 31 good days of air > all year .

Consumers must drive the change through their own spending. They are available in your area. The manufactures would love to sell as many as they can. Several dealers online websites for your area tout these cars specifically. You keep touting this big conspiracy of how nobody is saying this or that. Fact is public demand for lower mpg (and lower pollution) automobiles is strong and growing. As for mandates there are plenty but it does take time for the consumer to adjust. I just bought a diesel that is the first in the USA to meet the new EPA regulations that will become law in 2010. Cost $1000 extra just for the emissions controls and provides little else to the consumer other than lower emissions. Already diesel at almost all USA stations is now ULSD (ultra low sulfur) as a result of mandates. |
