Any "part" that the auto industry does is going to come back to rape the consumer, whether it be in the form of higher taxes to take the edge off of the bailouts or the usual financing/pricing gimmicks that the dealers pull. One way or another WE will pay for this out of our pockets and the fat hogs in the board rooms will eat cake.
long live capitalism!

This is a big deal. If this happens in California it essentially means the change will happen across the U.S.

"The California standards will reduce overall greenhouse gas emission from passenger cars 18 percent by 2020 and 27 percent by 2030. They will go into effect later this year in California, Arizona, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Connecticut, Oregon, Maine, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Vermont, Washington and Massachusetts. In addition Colorado, North Carolina, Florida, Minnesota Iowa and Utah are considering implementing the standards."

Well if the auto industry received cheap loans, they have to do their part, and specially WE have to do our part.
With gas being this low I'm not sure how effective the emissions and mpg standards are going to be.
