      Toyota has significant ownership of Subaru…

      Toyota has pushed against efficiency standards for years because their cash cows are their trucks/SUVs with abysmal efficiency. Nothing new here.

          Honda is reliable too. I get it, I have an older Outback and I’m trying to keep that thing going until EV prices come down more. Subaru will be adding hybrid crosstreks and foresters soon (Toyota tech). Get the most efficient and reliable car you can and don’t worry about it too much (except don’t buy a Tesla of course). Best thing we can do is advocate for walkable/bikeable/transit oriented development but I’m veering off topic so I’ll stop.

    This is a great way to make your vehicles unsellable outside the US, smart thinking

      Yeah, this combined with a projected 25% sales price increase in the US is genius. Vehicles will be hard to sell inside the US, too.

        Not to mention increased oil prices making less efficient cars less appealing… man, i wish i could be paid to be a stupid executive.

    If the pendulum swings back, the news laws should just repeal the repeal. Leave old deadlines in place, even if past.
