Honda is, AFAIK, the only major auto manufacturer to not join the lawsuit. Last year when this story broke I wrote Toyota to register my displeasure, and was given the party spin about objecting to multiple (state and federal) regulation requirements.

That, of course, is BS, since between CA and CARB compliant states, a dominant market has been made that justifies manufacturing all autos to CA's regulations.

I personally do not get to riled nowadays about the whole business, since I think the only thing that is going to decrease consumption is higher pump prices -- either market driven or through additional taxes.
