I've been reading similar articles for years.  It seemed obvious to me, I
wonder why California couldn't figure it out!  You can't mandate expensive
and / or physics-limited  engineering solutions without the monetary
incentive of the marketplace.  Well anyway, before I get flamed -- what did
they say about the 2001 EV?  Can we get it with the highly efficient
low-polluting V6 TDI in the US yet?

Thanks,
Michael Townsend

Just got done looking at the latest copy of Car and Driver (has a test
drive
of the 2001 EV by the way), and I was upset by what I read about the CARB
and
the zero emission vehicle program.
