Of course, the guys signs off as a Liberal, so I guess that says it all. <_<

If so, then a liberal infected with bushycronism (a nasty disease in which special interests and lobbying define political decisions). Or is could be an infection with a mutated variant, bushDoubleTalk, in which a small amount of money is spent to buy off or appear to support one policy, while really advancing another.

pzev, 30 mpg ? pfft.

Start at pzev, 50 mpg, and set out a schedule for increasing thresholds over time to meet tax credit requirements. Let the best tech/smartest consumer win.

I come from a different approach. Since the tax credit is supposed to encourage hybrid sales, why offer it on a car with a permanent six-week backlog of orders? Its not like people need any additional encouragement to buy a Prius...

Bravo!!! I've been saying this for two years! Toyota sells every Prius it can make. The tax credits, deductions, and rebates do not put one single extra Prius on the road.

I don't know how the HCH fares in this regard.

I have to wonder if he also got jealous/angry by being stuck in rush hour traffic and saw a Prius zoom by.

as this is from Canada you should realize that there is no 6 week waiting period for a Prius. Up here they sit on dealer lots for 6 weeks or more. So I'd quess the dealers will take advantage of a rebate to move the inventory.
