Re: Extended and increased tax break?
I'm not saying there should be no break for SUVs, what I meant was that I hope the breaks are proportional to the FE of the vehicles sold, thus encouraging (in general) higher FE when considering a new vehicle. My concern is not so much with the econo-SUVs as much as with the luxury models where the price tag is already very well inflated to begin with. A big break for them seems like a big waste of money, but a break is indeed in order for all hybrids, as long as they make a difference, and so far they are.
If they make the break in proportion to the cost of the vehicle then it's totally backwards, and won't encourage people to buy the more fuel efficient models, that would be yet another break for the more well-off.
