Then, for the next two quarters the credit was cut by 50%, then for the next two quarters it would be cust by 50% again ( this is where Toyota is now ); then it goes to ZERO ( Toyota on 10-1-07 ).
Using your figures and assuming that Honda reaches its 60K limit during the 4th quarter of 2007. Honda hybrids will still get...
the full credit until 3-31-08
50% credit from 4-1 to 9-30 of 2008
25% credit from 10-1-08 to 3-31-09
Zero credit beginning 4-1-09
