So GM and Ford will slack off, and Toyota might too except for the Corolla, Camry and their hybrid stuff. But Honda will keep on doing the best they can. And they best they can is the best. So 5 or years down the road how will this have helped GM? Of course by that time Wagoner and Lutz will have floated away on their parachutes. Typical.

A patchwork of state regulations does nothing but increase costs to consumers with little over all gain in environmental benefits. California has almost singlehandedly kept light diesels out of the US market. If they had their way virtually no automobile in existence would be acceptable for use in their state.
