I stand corrected. The GX is cleaner according to this link:

The HCH 2 is the only gas powered car that meets tier-2 bin-2 requirements that I'm aware of, but apparently the GX has even lower levels of pollutants than it.
Its referred to as an ILEV though and not a PZEV, and I am unfamiliar with what ILEV is in comparison. I do know that tier-2 bin-2 cars emit negligable emissions as it is the closest rating to ZEV (tier 2 bin 1).
