Bob,

Not sure why you felt it necessary to attack every aspect of the PZEV post.

What I wanted to show is that a big portion of the "green" in "greenhybrid" can be achieved for less than the cost of the current hybrid cars.

It was mostly to point out that PZEV is a good alternative to hybrid if hybrid is out of your price range and you nonetheless still care about how much you are polluting the air.

And Mike:

Ford has more PZEV cars than anyone else. Why they do that is probably to meet overall pollution quotas since they sell so many F150 polluters. Regardless of WHY they do it, they are doing good by the environment in at least THIS regard - the most PZEV rated cars of any carmaker.

We would all like more carmakers to invest more into hybrids. If they don't the next best thing IMHO is to at LEAST build cars that are limiting pollution.

Regardless of how you feel about Ford overall, they deserve kudos for this, even if that are striking out in other areas.
