I like it better when the U.S. was the U.S. and you had some freedom. The treehugging Government got what they wanted and now they are showing they didn't think it through very much. Now they want to pass another bill that hey haven't thought through very much.............. or did they. 1984 only 25 yrs late.

me too!!, and add a factor for the capital expense and resources required to produce and maintain that vehicle through 'end-of-life' (like disposing of batteries and plastics) (They do this in the REAL earth friendly places)

I would do well with my fleet of 30 yr old $35 cars that get 50 mpg. I have the local 'towing' services to thank for finding many of these for me

There are about 600 cars sold per week, and before scrap prices skyrocketed the minimum bid was $35.00. I actually had to pay $500 for one last month, but it is in very good shape, it will probably go another 300,000 miles, or more.
